Yes—but **not every version of ChatGPT is HIPAA-eligible**. As of August 2026, OpenAI offers specific products that can support HIPAA-compliant use **when the appropriate Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is in place and the service is configured appropriately**. These include: - **ChatGPT for Healthcare** - **ChatGPT for Enterprise with a Regulated Workspace** - **ChatGPT for Clinicians** - Certain **OpenAI API** configurations with Modified Retention - ChatGPT FedRAMP and API FedRAMP with Modified Retention [help.openai.com](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001069-hipaa-eligible-products-and-functionality?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### What about regular ChatGPT? You should **not assume that a normal personal ChatGPT account is HIPAA compliant or appropriate for entering PHI**. OpenAI specifically says that Health in ChatGPT, for example, is not intended for clinical/covered-entity use and does not offer a BAA. [help.openai.com](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001036-health-in-chatgpt?utm_source=chatgpt.com) For HIPAA-covered use, the important distinction is the **BAA**. A BAA establishes OpenAI's obligations as a business associate and is part of the framework for using the service with PHI.
