What Qualtrics says
“Upon request, Qualtrics will execute BAAs with its customers who are covered entities.”
“we sign BAAs with our customers that are covered entities that allow us to process PHI”
What this means for ad tracking
Patient experience surveys go out after visits and can carry the service, the provider or the reason for a visit.
Qualtrics' BAA covers the data Qualtrics handles for you. Its article names customers who are covered entities (Qualtrics), so an agency or vendor working for a practice should ask Qualtrics directly.
A BAA binds only the vendor that signs it. This directory lists Meta and Google Ads as not signing a BAA, so a survey response you count as a conversion should reach them with no answers attached. Our guide to HIPAA compliant survey tools compares the options.
Curve Compliance helps with that part: it sends the conversion itself server-side under a BAA it signs on every plan, sends each platform only a fixed list of fields, and detects PHI-like patterns before data reaches an ad platform. Book a call to see it on your own funnel.
A business associate agreement binds only the vendor that signs it, so each vendor that handles patient information for you needs its own. To compare form builders, see our guide to HIPAA compliant forms.
How Curve helps
- Curve carries the conversion signal to your ad platforms separately, under its own BAA, so you can keep Qualtrics for what it does well.
- Curve replaces browser ad pixels with one script and sends conversions server-side to Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, Microsoft Advertising and LinkedIn from Curve's servers.
- Curve detects PHI-like patterns, such as condition names, form answers and emails in URLs, before data reaches an ad platform, and flags them so they can be stopped at the source.
- Each platform receives only a fixed list of fields. Contact identifiers are off by default on Meta, Google Ads and TikTok, and events can use neutral names.
- Event Logs show what Curve sent to each platform and what the platform accepted.
- Curve signs a BAA on every plan, and Curve's team does the setup for you, typically live in about a week.
