Best HIPAA compliant form builders

6 tools compared. Checked 6 Nov 2026.

Intake forms collect patient data directly. The BAA usually depends on the plan, and some builders need a HIPAA setting turned on as well.

Where to start

If you already use Google Workspace or Office 365, check Google Forms or Microsoft Forms first. Otherwise start with Jotform, since a Gold plan and a BAA signed from its Data page is the lowest named route here.

Q

Qualtrics

BAA available

Qualtrics says it will execute BAAs on request with customers who are covered entities, and its security framework says a BAA is considered only for covered entities or business associates.

G

Google Forms

On some plans

Google lists Forms within Drive as covered functionality under its Workspace BAA, so coverage depends on a Workspace account whose super admin has accepted the BAA.

Covered: Forms in a Google Workspace account with an accepted BAA.

Left out: Third-party add-ons.

J

Jotform

On some plans

Jotform lets covered entity customers on Gold or Enterprise plans sign a BAA from the Data page after enabling its HIPAA environment.

Covered: Gold; Enterprise.

Left out: Widgets and integrations not allowed in the HIPAA environment, and more.

M

Microsoft Forms

On some plans

Microsoft lists Forms in the Office 365 Commercial and GCC scope table for its HIPAA BAA, which is included by default in the Data Protection Addendum for covered entities and business associates.

Covered: Forms under Office 365 Commercial and GCC.

S

SurveyMonkey

On some plans

SurveyMonkey offers a standard-form BAA only with HIPAA-enabled Enterprise accounts, and says PHI is permitted only in such an account with a BAA in place.

Covered: Enterprise, with HIPAA features enabled.

Left out: Surveys holding PHI may not be transferred to regular accounts.

Typeform

On some plans

Typeform says it can currently provide a BAA for Enterprise or Growth Custom customers, requested through sales.

Covered: Enterprise; Growth Custom.

Before you choose

  • Confirm the BAA covers your exact plan and every feature you’ll use.
  • Get the BAA signed before any patient data goes in.
  • Turn on the settings the vendor requires, and train your staff on them.

This isn’t legal advice. A BAA is one requirement. Your clinic still has to set the tool up correctly and control who has access. Vendors change their terms, so confirm before you sign. PHI means protected health information, which includes patient data.
