Some policies aimed at reducing unwanted behavior can backfire. Therapists with late cancellation fees may be a good example.

Yeah, I totally came in hot there. Apologies. The discussion thread that @sheologian.bsky.social‬ kindly carried forward is more measured.

High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
But to say that there's no such thing as a BAA covering AI is just factually wrong. Questions about BAAs should be directed both to the BAA providers (the piece I think was missing here) and to professional liability insurers. If they understand things differently, it's worth examining why.
000
High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
I myself don't use AI note-taking, because on balance I don't think the risk is worth it. I understand insurers wanting to discourage clinicians from using AI clinically, because so much is unknown, untested, and/or potentially unsafe.

High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
Look, I came in hot, and I'll own that. I *do* think Amy was wrong, but I could've addressed it far more thoughtfully. I don't presume that info from an EHR and info from an insurer are the same. They serve somewhat different purposes.
200
High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
The relevant direct quote and link are above in this thread. Both companies do tend to suffer from link bloat, so trying to find the info through navigation as opposed to search can be a challenge. For both, search got me to the key info quickly.

High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
? I checked with the specific companies instead of relying on third party analysis. Previously posted SP's statement, here's TN's: support.therapynotes.com/hc/en-us/art...). (In fairness, though, I would have expected better/more accurate info from the insurer.)

TherapyFuel FAQs and Pro Tips
How do I access TherapyFuel? Do you have any documentation on the privacy of TherapyFuel? How has the AI been trained to write progress notes? Have you been mining our data to produce this feature?...

High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
Yeah, I wonder to what degree they've kept up with it. (It is fast-moving to be sure.) Or whether they're just taking a super-conservative approach in the absence of test cases on the subject. I have no doubt there eventually will be test cases.
000
High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
lol apologies, rereading that, it's totally coming in hot. Not my intent. It's just that it's not true, and both the companies you mentioned plainly say so.
000
High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
I'd be changing insurers if they think that. Both TherapyNotes and SimplePractice explicitly and unequivocally state that their AI note-taking is covered under their existing BAA.
100
High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
I hear that. But the insurer seems, at best, misinformed. And to repeat and amplify that inaccuracy, calling out specific companies apparently without looking into it at all first, seems problematic. No?
100
High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
I get that many people are skeptical of both technology companies (especially those with VC funding) and AI, and I generally think that skepticism is appropriate. But it's not a reason to just make shit up.
300
High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
SP explicitly says that their AI note-taker is covered by their BAA. "When you use SimplePractice's AI Note Taker, you're already covered under SimplePractice’s existing Business Associate Agreement." And they have a lot more detail in support. www.simplepractice.com/blog/hipaa-c...

What therapists must know about HIPAA compliant AI note-taking
Curious about trying a HIPAA compliant AI note-taking solution for your therapy private practice? Here’s what to know about HIPAA and AI note- taking.
100
High Pass Education @highpassedu.bsky.social · 04/08/2025
No. "HIPAA BAAs don't cover AI as of yet" is incorrect and nonsensical. For a TherapyNotes or a SimplePractice to provide a BAA (which they both do) and somehow include language that their AI note-taking isn't covered wouldn't just be bad judgment, it would be commercially suicidal.

It's a useful reminder to me that while #AI has many strong use cases and great potential, it also still can stumble over basic facts. Especially with nuanced language (a "switch to" an exam suggests a different prior exam, while a "change to" an exam suggests the same exam done differently).

I asked Google about CA's transition to the ASWB Clinical Exam, which happened in 2016. (My query was "california switch to aswb clinical exam") Google's #AI said that the transition happened in 2025. ASWB changed vendors in 2025. But the transition I was asking about was 9 years ago.

Sharing for visibility - Looks like Maryland's #socialwork board straight-up lied about the origin of their biased survey about whether they should keep using license exams. The survey came from ASWB, **the exam developer.** The questions were so one-sided it was basically a push poll.
