OpenAI API adds an in-product HIPAA support setup flow

Eligible organizations can now enable HIPAA compliance support from their API organization settings. Admins can accept the standard Business Associate Agreement in the same flow.

What changed

OpenAI added a HIPAA compliance support flow under Organization settings > General. Admins of eligible organizations can accept the standard Business Associate Agreement and enable support for their organization.

Why it may matter for your work

This could simplify one administrative step for eligible healthcare businesses using the API. Teams may still need to check covered services and configuration requirements before using it in their workflows.

What it can actually do

Let eligible organization admins accept the standard BAA and enable HIPAA compliance support through API settings.

Limits to check

Only eligible organizations can use the flow. Eligibility, covered services, and configuration requirements are detailed in the linked Help Center article.
