Practical references
Tools and references
We keep these references for teams building healthcare software: what the HIPAA rules ask of a build, which vendors sign a HIPAA BAA and what the agreement must say, how the major clouds compare, which cloud services a BAA covers, and roughly what the cloud bill will be. Each one is free, cites its sources and shows the date we last verified it, because vendor terms and prices change.
Which Vendors Sign a HIPAA BAA, and on Which Plan
Cloud platforms, AI APIs and SaaS tools that will sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, the plan tier that unlocks it, and whether it costs extra.
