HIPAA Business Associate agreements for custom model development

Cohere provides a HIPAA-compliant Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to support healthcare providers, insurers, and technology partners in developing secure, custom models that align with specific business needs while adhering to federal standards for protecting personal health information (PHI). By working with Cohere, entities can establish a BAA through discussions with an account executive, ensuring compliance checks and commercial agreements are met for custom model development, which is then deployed in a private environment. The company emphasizes robust security measures, including encryption and compliance monitoring, to protect PHI. While Cohere offers private deployments suitable for HIPAA-regulated entities without requiring a BAA, managed cloud AI platforms hosted by third-party providers necessitate a BAA with the respective provider. Cohere-hosted products and applications are not currently suitable for HIPAA-regulated entities as they do not offer a BAA for these services, underscoring Cohere's commitment to data security and privacy in delivering innovative solutions to healthcare organizations.
