Which AWS option did you have to use? Self managed or their propriety HIPAA offerings? Did they have to provide a Business Associate's Agreement?

Sorry for all the questions, this HIPAA compliance is confusing and using turnkey solutions seems to be expensive.

We managed it ourselves. My opinion is, if you have a clear infrastructure defined, like migrate from on-premises to the cloud, it makes sense to use their predefined infrastructure (not sure if there is a price difference). If you are still in the ideation stage, not clear what to build yet, just follow the best practices when you create new components (https://github.com/aws-quickstart/quickstart-compliance-hipa...), you can sign a BAA from aws artifact for your account.
Appreciate the response.
