Is Tebra AI HIPAA compliant?
Tebra Technologies, Inc. signs a Business Associate Agreement with its customers, which HIPAA requires before a vendor handles patient data for you. Once it's signed, you can use Tebra AI with patient data within the BAA's scope; whether your use is compliant still depends on your setup and your own policies. Tebra Technologies, Inc. doesn't say whether the BAA covers its AI features.
Does Tebra AI sign a BAA?
Yes, it signs a BAA
Tebra's terms of service make its BAA part of every customer contract with a covered entity. Neither the terms nor the BAA says whether the BAA covers AI Note Assist or Tebra's other AI features.
Not confirmed for the AI features: Tebra Technologies, Inc. doesn’t say whether its BAA covers AI Note Assist (ambient visit-note drafting); Other Tebra AI functionality (AI review responses, billing summaries). Get that in writing before using them with patient data.

| Plan | BAA | How to get it | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tebra Clinical subscription (with AI Note Assist per-note or subscription pricing) | Signs a BAA | Included in the termsRequest page | The terms of service say the customer and Tebra agree to be bound by Tebra's BAA, which is incorporated by reference for covered-entity customers that provide PHI. No separate signature is needed. AI Note Assist is offered to Clinical subscribers per note or by subscription. The BAA lets Tebra create de-identified data and use it commercially, and Tebra owns that data.[1],[2],[3] |
Are the AI features covered?
Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Tebra Technologies, Inc. says about each one.
| AI feature | Under the BAA | Details |
|---|---|---|
| AI Note Assist (ambient visit-note drafting) | Not stated | Tebra calls Note Assist HIPAA-compliant and says recordings are not stored. Its terms place AI functionality within the Tebra platform but do not say whether the BAA covers it, and no page names the AI model provider or says whether data is used for training.[1],[3],[4] |
| Other Tebra AI functionality (AI review responses, billing summaries) | Not stated | The terms' generative AI clause covers AI-generated review responses, clinical notes and billing summaries, which customers must review. It does not mention PHI, third-party AI providers or the BAA.[1] |

A signed BAA is necessary but not sufficient for HIPAA compliance, which also depends on configuration, access controls, and your own policies. Verdicts summarize the vendor's own published terms as of the date checked; confirm with the vendor and your counsel before sending protected health information. Not legal advice.
