Is InstaVoice HIPAA compliant?

Is InstaVoice HIPAA compliant?

Healthcare professionals want HIPAA compliant voicemail transcriptions. But while reading your voicemails instead of listening to them may keep sensitive information more secure, it's important to choose visual voicemail providers that are HIPAA compliant. Let's review InstaVoice and see if it meets HIPAA security standards. 

 

Is InstaVoice HIPAA compliant?

 

The first consideration a covered entity needs to make when choosing a provider is if it is willing to participate in a business associate agreement (BAA). Any third-party provider that stores, transmits, or has access to protected health information (PHI) is considered a business associate, and it has an obligation under HIPAA to keep PHI secure. InstaVoice makes no indication on its website that it is willing to sign a BAA. Its privacy policy says:
We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk . . . Please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

InstaVoice is also not willing to put in technical safeguards that are considered standard for HIPAA compliance. Its privacy policy further mentions that "electronically stored personal information" is unencrypted. Since InstaVoice doesn't encrypt sensitive data or have a reasonable alternative, it doesn't meet HIPAA security standards.

 

Conclusion

 

InstaVoice isn't HIPAA compliant. The company doesn't appear willing to participate in a BAA and won't ensure or warrant the security of any information sent to them. This makes it a non-compliant provider.
