What Intuit says
“Currently, QuickBooks Online meets industry standards for online security, but is not compliant with the HIPAA standards for privacy. If you are a health care professional, it is not recommended that you enter "individually identifiable health information" into the QuickBooks Online program.”
What this means for ad tracking
Invoices, payments and customer records in QuickBooks can name a patient and the service they paid for, and teams sometimes use that revenue data to measure what their ads return.
Because Intuit advises against putting individually identifiable health information into QuickBooks Online, patient details should stay out of it, and any revenue you report back to Meta or Google Ads should carry no health information.
Curve Compliance closes that gap: it sends the conversion itself server-side, under a BAA it signs on every plan, so your campaigns keep a conversion signal without a pixel carrying patient data. 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.
How Curve helps
- Curve gives you a conversion signal that does not depend on QuickBooks or a browser pixel carrying patient details.
- Server-side conversion tracking in place of pixels: conversions reach your ad platforms from Curve's server, not from the patient's browser.
- A fixed field list per platform, so each ad platform receives only the fields set for it.
- PHI-like pattern detection checks every event before it goes out, and neutral event names keep conditions and treatments out of what the platforms see.
- When identifiers are enabled, Curve hashes them with SHA-256.
- Consent management for your site, alongside the tracking.
- A HIPAA-compliant setup done by Curve's team, with a BAA signed on every plan.
