COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OraCore HIPAA-compliant?

Yes. OraCore AI operates as a Business Associate under HIPAA and executes a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every practice we work with. All data handling meets HIPAA Security Rule requirements.

Do I need patient consent to use an AI scribe?

Yes. Best practice — and legal requirement in some states — is to obtain written patient consent before using any AI-assisted documentation tool. Use our Patient Consent Form template as your starting point.

Does OraCore store patient recordings?

No. OraCore does not retain audio recordings after transcription. Only the finalized clinical note is stored, and it remains under your practice’s control.

What is a Business Associate Agreement?

A BAA is a HIPAA-required contract between your practice and any vendor that handles Protected Health Information (PHI) on your behalf. OraCore provides a BAA for every practice before deployment.

Can patients opt out of AI scribe documentation?

Yes. Any patient can decline AI-assisted documentation at any time. Your staff training card includes opt-out scripts for front desk and clinical team members.
