Does Alohi Suite sign Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with users?

Who can use this feature?

Available on Enterprise plans.

All members.

Yes. Alohi Suite (Sign.Plus and Fax.Plus) signs Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with users of Enterprise plans. If you are on a monthly or yearly billed Enterprise plan and need a BAA in order to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), follow our guides below.

 

Does Sign.Plus sign BAA with users?

It’s worth noting that once the BAA is signed, Advanced Security Controls (ASC) are enabled for your account to ensure full HIPAA compliance. This means email and Slack notifications will only contain a notification message and will not have the signed document as an attachment.

This includes scenarios where a user with ASC activated is assigned to receive a copy once a document is completed. This approach ensures that your signed documents are exclusively stored within a thoroughly encrypted and secure archive for future reference.

This means Slack notifications will only contain a notification message and will not have the faxed document as an attachment. By default, email notifications also contain only a notification message.

If you want to receive faxes by email, an admin can enable fax attachments in email notifications for your organization. Attachments are delivered only over TLS 1.2 encrypted connections. See Fax-to-Email for HIPAA & PHIPA Compliant Fax.Plus Accounts.
