Secure Texting / Messaging

10 reviews in total for products with this feature.

This is a bit of a catch all for services with a “texting” function that meets these requirements:

They kinda look and feel like texting.
They do something to make the exchange of messages secure so that you can use them with clients and colleagues to send and receive protected health information.

Note that you won’t find any products on here that only supply conventional SMS or other unsecured texting. This list is only for products that are able to do secure texting. Click here for a list of reviews that includes products which offer only conventional SMS or other unsecured texting.

HIPAA compliance with this product appears possible?: Yes.
Recommend for your HIPAA risk management needs?: Yes. If you're a solo/solo+ provider (meaning there is only one clinician/HIPAA covered entity within your organization) -- then the "base" plan should be sufficient for your HIPAA security needs. If you're a group practice, then you should obtain the "plus" or "reach" option in order to have the chat auditing feature. If you wish to have both conventional SMS and secure messaging, you need OhMD's "reach" tier.
