If HIPPA compliant setting is turned on, are SMS messages to external numbers HIPPA compliant?


Our goal is to be able to SMS text message patients at our medical practice in a HIPPA compliant manner.

Hey Alex,

SMS is generally not HIPAA compliant. This is a pretty interesting read

At rest on our servers, the SMS is protected. But once it is in transit and has left our servers, we don't have any control over it.
