What Quo says
“To use Quo in a HIPAA-compliant way, your organization must sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), which is available for Business and Scale plans.”
“If you’re an existing Quo customer, you can request a BAA here.”
What the BAA covers and excludes
Excludes or limits, in Quo's words:
- "Text messaging (SMS/MMS) is not a Covered Service under the Quo BAA due to technical limitations that prevent full HIPAA compliance."
- "Any third-party integrations or connected services (including CRM systems, email delivery services, messaging platforms, analytics tools, or similar integrations) are not Covered Services under the Quo BAA."
- "Additionally, any analytics or reporting features that transmit data to third-party analytics platforms not covered under the Quo BAA are also excluded."
What this means for ad tracking
A phone call from an ad is often a clinic's most valuable conversion. The phone system records calls, voicemails and texts, so it holds PHI and needs a BAA. Quo says its BAA “is available for Business and Scale plans” (Quo).
Quo is specific about the edges of its BAA. It says text messaging is not a covered service, that third-party integrations including “analytics tools” are not covered services, and that analytics features sending data “to third-party analytics platforms not covered under the Quo BAA are also excluded” (Quo). A BAA binds only the vendor that signs it, and this directory lists Meta and Google Ads as not signing one, so call conversions sent to them need to leave PHI behind. Our guides to HIPAA compliant phone systems and HIPAA compliant call tracking software compare BAAs by plan.
Curve Compliance helps with that part: it receives outcomes from call tracking and booking systems through incoming webhooks, credits each to the original ad click, and sends the conversion server-side under a BAA it signs on every plan. 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 carries the conversion signal to your ad platforms separately, under its own BAA, so you can keep Quo for what it does well.
- Curve receives outcomes from call tracking and booking systems through incoming webhooks and credits each to the original ad click.
- 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.
