Business Associate Agreement

HIPAA-grade protection for healthcare AI calling

What is a BAA?

A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is a legal contract required under HIPAA between a Covered Entity (such as a healthcare provider) and a Business Associate (such as Phone Stack) that handles Protected Health Information (PHI) on their behalf.

The BAA establishes the permitted uses and disclosures of PHI, requires appropriate safeguards, and outlines breach notification obligations.

Who Needs a BAA?

You need a BAA with Phone Stack if:

  • You are a healthcare provider, health plan, or healthcare clearinghouse (a "Covered Entity")
  • You are a Business Associate of a Covered Entity
  • Your use of Phone Stack involves any Protected Health Information — including patient names, phone numbers, appointment details, or health-related information discussed during calls

If you're unsure whether you need a BAA, we recommend consulting with your compliance officer or legal counsel.

What Phone Stack's BAA Covers

Encryption of PHI at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
Access controls with multi-factor authentication
Comprehensive audit logging of all PHI access
Automatic session timeout and logoff
Breach notification within 60 days of discovery
Data retention and destruction per HIPAA requirements
Restrictions on use and disclosure of PHI
Return or destruction of PHI upon termination
