"Not all Amazon Bedrock features are covered under the AWS Business Associate Addendum. You should review the AWS HIPAA eligible services list to determine which Amazon Bedrock features may be used to process Protected Health Information.— Excerpt from AWS Bedrock's AWS Service Terms
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates HIPAA 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 (Privacy and Security Rules), the HITECH Act (42 U.S.C. §17931), and OCR enforcement authority under HHS. A Business Associate Agreement is required under 45 CFR §164.308(b)(1) for any service processing PHI; where a Bedrock feature is not HIPAA-eligible, no valid BAA coverage exists and processing PHI through that feature constitutes a HIPAA violation.
