Paubox blog: HIPAA compliant email made easy

Introducing HIPAA compliant texting API by Paubox

Written by Dean Levitt | March 01, 2024

Want to see something new? Introducing Paubox Texting - a HIPAA compliant texting API for patient engagement that doesn't require recipients to download 3rd-party applications or use passcode-protected portals.

You can now send HIPAA compliant text messages straight to your recipients' mobile devices. 

 

What they're saying:

"We took our approach to encrypted email and applied it to encrypted texting," says Paubox CEO Hoala Greevy.  

 

Why it matters: 

Healthcare organizations care about patient engagement - it's something we've heard time and time again. The idea was first sparked at a dinner Hoala had with a customer. Customer feedback is a core tenet of the Paubox Foundations, so we listened and then got to work building a HIPAA compliant texting solution. 

As we unveiled Paubox Texting at the recent ViVE 2024 conference, we heard firsthand how healthcare businesses plan to use texting for appointment reminders, sharing test results, prescription reminders, explanation of benefits (EOB) messages, care acknowledgments, and billing reminders. 

 

Can you personalize text messages with PHI?

Yes. We applied the same principles to HIPAA compliant texting that make Paubox Email Suite so patient-friendly. Every text message is 100% HIPAA compliant and can be personalized. 

Best of all, it doesn't require a password-protected portal or 3rd-party app download to read Paubox-sent text messages.
