Will Hathr AI sign a business associate agreement (BAA)?

Yes, Hathr AI will sign a business associate agreement, which can be reviewed here.

 

What does the Hathr AI BAA cover?

The Hathr AI BAA covers the use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI), stating, “Coverage of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards and the HITECH Act.”

Their BAA covers:

  • Protection of PHI
  • Notifications of breaches and security incidents
  • Individual Right of Access requests
  • Individual amendment and restriction requests
  • Individual accounting requests
  • Subcontractor obligations
  • Return or destruction of PHI

What does the Hathr AI BAA exclude?

Hathr AI does not publish its BAA, and its customer agreement allows Hathr to aggregate and de-identify customer data for its own use. Furthermore, Hathr caps its total liability at $50 and disclaims liability for unauthorized access caused by its hosting provider.

Their terms say Hathr may use de-identified, aggregated customer data “to improve and enhance its products and services.”

This is a significant limitation when it comes to PHI, since a business associate may only create de-identified data from PHI when its BAA permits it, and organizations cannot confirm this without requesting the BAA.

 

Conclusion

Hathr AI may be HIPAA compliant, but organizations should request its BAA and confirm how it treats de-identified data before uploading PHI.
