**Yes, Airtable can be HIPAA compliant** , but only under very specific conditions, plan tiers, and strict configuration rules.[](https://teachmehipaa.com/hipaa-baa/productivity/airtable/) [[1]](https://teachmehipaa.com/hipaa-baa/productivity/airtable/)[[2]](https://www.hipaajournal.com/is-airtable-hipaa-compliant/)
1. Plan Requirement: Enterprise Scale Only
Airtable supports HIPAA compliance **only** for customers on the **Enterprise Scale plan**.[](https://teachmehipaa.com/hipaa-baa/productivity/airtable/)
- If you are on a **Free, Team, or Business plan** , you are **not** permitted to store Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) under any circumstances.[](https://teachmehipaa.com/hipaa-baa/productivity/airtable/) [[1]](https://www.knack.com/blog/knack-health-vs-airtable-hipaa/)
- To enable HIPAA compliance, Enterprise organizations must execute Airtable's **Health Information Exhibit** , which includes a formal **Business Associate Agreement (BAA)**.[](https://teachmehipaa.com/hipaa-baa/productivity/airtable/) [[1]](https://www.complysaas.com/compliance/airtable)
2. Strict Boundary Rules for PHI
Even with an Enterprise Scale plan and a signed BAA, Airtable enforces rigid boundaries on where and how patient data can live within the platform:[[1]](https://www.accountablehq.com/post/is-airtable-hipaa-compliant-baa-phi-and-security-explained)
- **In-Scope:** ePHI and medical information may only be stored directly inside **Records within Airtable bases or interfaces**.[](https://www.airtable.com/company/health-info-datasheet) [[1]](https://www.airtable.com/company/health-info-datasheet)
- **Out-of-Scope / Prohibited:**
- **Airtable AI:** AI features are completely excluded from the BAA. You must ensure Airtable AI is disabled in any workspace handling PHI.
- **Automations & Email:** Outgoing emails triggered by Airtable automations **cannot** contain PHI.
- **Customer Support:** You must never include PHI in screenshots, support tickets, or chats with Airtable support.
- **Patient Portals:** Airtable explicitly states the platform **cannot** be used as a patient portal.[](https://www.airtable.com/company/health-info-datasheet) [[1]](https://www.knack.com/blog/knack-health-vs-airtable-hipaa/)
3. Shared Responsibility and Integrations
Achieving compliance is a shared-responsibility model. While Airtable provides the necessary technical safeguards (such as Enterprise Key Management, audit logs, SSO, and data loss prevention), **you** are responsible for proper configuration:[](https://www.knack.com/blog/knack-health-vs-airtable-hipaa/) [[1]](https://www.accountablehq.com/post/is-airtable-hipaa-compliant-baa-phi-and-security-explained)[[2]](https://www.jotform.com/hipaa/is-hipaa-compliant/airtable/)[[3]](https://www.blaze.tech/post/is-airtable-hipaa-compliant)[[4]](https://community.airtable.com/announcements-6/airtable-is-now-hipaa-compliant-1542)
- Enforcing role-based access controls and the "minimum necessary" standard.
- Ensuring any third-party integrations connected to Airtable (like Zapier, Slack, or external APIs) are also HIPAA-compliant and covered under their own BAAs.
- Restricting view links and collaborator permissions so unauthorized users cannot access sensitive records.[](https://www.specode.ai/blog/is-airtable-hipaa-compliant) [[1]](https://www.specode.ai/blog/is-airtable-hipaa-compliant)[[2]](https://www.accountablehq.com/post/airtable-hipaa-compliance-baa-security-features-and-what-to-know-in-2026)[[3]](https://www.business-automated.com/tutorials/is-airtable-safe-security-guide)

2. **Execute a BAA:** You must work with an Airtable account executive to sign their Health Information Exhibit, which contains the formal **Business Associate Addendum (BAA)**.[](https://teachmehipaa.com/hipaa-baa/productivity/airtable/)
3. **Admin Panel Activation:** Once contracted, an administrator must explicitly enable HIPAA compliance for the organization or specific organizational units via the [Airtable Admin Panel](https://support.airtable.com/docs/understanding-hipaa-at-airtable).[[1]](https://support.airtable.com/docs/understanding-hipaa-at-airtable)[[2]](https://support.airtable.com/docs/understanding-hipaa-at-airtable)

The critical requirements and boundaries for using Airtable with Protected Health Information (PHI) include:
- **Enterprise Scale Plan Required:** HIPAA support and the execution of a formal Business Associate Agreement (BAA)—via Airtable’s Health Information Exhibit—are restricted exclusively to customers on the **Enterprise Scale** plan. Free, Team, and Business plans are strictly non-compliant and prohibited from storing electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI).[](https://teachmehipaa.com/hipaa-baa/productivity/airtable/)
