These agreements ensure compliance with healthcare regulations, protect sensitive patient data, and clarify how the platform should be used.

• Business Associate Agreement (BAA) – Defines how Protected Health Information (PHI) can be used, shared, and safeguarded between a provider and the platform in compliance with HIPAA.
• Provider Authorization Letter – Grants PriorAuthSpace permission to submit prior authorization requests to payers on behalf of the provider.
• Data Use Agreement – Outlines how data may be accessed, shared, and analyzed within the system under clearly defined terms.
