Yes—but **not every Claude product or plan is automatically HIPAA compliant**. As of August 2026, Anthropic says it offers **HIPAA-eligible Claude offerings**, provided the customer has the appropriate **Business Associate Agreement (BAA)** in place. Anthropic specifically describes HIPAA-eligible offerings for customers who execute a BAA.

Your organization also needs appropriate access controls, policies, security safeguards, auditing, and appropriate handling of PHI. - Anthropic's own healthcare guidance emphasizes that AI vendors handling PHI should have a BAA in place.
