How to use Airtable in a HIPAA-compliant way
- Be on the Airtable Enterprise Scale plan.
- Contact your Airtable account executive to begin the BAA process.
- Identify the org unit(s) that need to be HIPAA-enabled.
- Sign Airtable's Health Information Exhibit (BAA + CMIA Addendum); Airtable then enables the feature internally.
- Enforce SSO, granular permissions, encryption, and audit logs on the covered org units.
Important caveats
- Only Enterprise Scale qualifies — there is no admin toggle; Airtable enables PHI features after the BAA is processed.
- Airtable now uses a 'Health Information Exhibit' with a Business Associate Addendum rather than a standalone BAA.
- Third-party integrations and extensions are outside the covered scope.
The bottom line
No software is "HIPAA compliant" on its own. HIPAA compliance is a property of your organization, not a tool. Even with a signed BAA, you remain responsible for configuring Airtable correctly, limiting access to PHI, training staff, and maintaining your own safeguards. This page is general information, not legal advice; confirm current terms with Airtable.
