Does v0 by Vercel sign a BAA?
No BAA available
Vercel signs BAAs for its hosting platform (a paid add-on on Pro, or through sales on Enterprise), but its API Terms bar using the v0 API or v0 product to process PHI. v0 Enterprise lists HIPAA among inherited compliance, but no page says a BAA covers v0's AI.

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.
