1717This page is for the IT or security administrator who prepares developers' computers. The Primary Owner of your Claude organization applies the configuration itself. [Use Claude Code (local mode) and Cowork (local mode) on a HIPAA-ready Enterprise plan](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/17318731) explains what your BAA includes, how the configuration is applied, and how to schedule the date it's applied.

206206With the HIPAA configuration applied, Claude Code removes the credentials it uses to reach Anthropic, such as `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, from the environment of the shell commands, hooks, and MCP servers it starts.

208The HIPAA configuration doesn't remove cloud provider or GitHub credentials, so a command that pushes to GitHub or calls another service still works with that developer's access. Your BAA with Anthropic doesn't cover the data it sends there. See the [Implementation Guide](https://trust.anthropic.com/resources?s=rgirr4qe8u7ek8c2igx3\&name=claude-for-enterprise-hipaa-ready-offering-implementation-guide) for the full list of Eligible Services.
