Is TherapyNotes HIPAA compliant? Does it sign a BAA?
The answer
Signs a BAA

What TherapyNotes says
“The BAA is now built directly into the Terms of Service for customers who need one.”
“It means that for customers who are Covered Entities under HIPAA and require a BAA, the BAA now applies through acceptance of the Terms of Service.”
“If you are a Covered Entity and agree to the updated Terms of Service, the BAA is automatically in effect.”
What the BAA covers and excludes
Covers, in TherapyNotes's words:
- "The BAA applies only to customers who are Covered Entities under HIPAA and are required to have a BAA with TherapyNotes."
What this means for ad tracking
Therapy practices often run ads that lead to a booking or a consultation request, and the pages along the way can show the kind of care a person is looking for.
TherapyNotes says its updated Terms of Service and BAA took effect April 23, 2026, and that the BAA applies to customers who are covered entities and require one (TherapyNotes). That covers TherapyNotes. A BAA binds only the vendor that signs it. This directory lists Meta and Google Ads as not signing a BAA, so a booking you count as a conversion should reach them with no health details. Our guide to HIPAA compliant therapy platforms compares the options, and booked appointment attribution shows how Curve credits bookings to ads.
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 schedulers, see our guide to HIPAA compliant scheduling software.
How Curve helps
- Curve carries the conversion signal to your ad platforms separately, under its own BAA, so you can keep TherapyNotes 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.
