Is TextFree HIPAA compliant?

TextFree's services are not designed to be HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant since messages are not sent via encryption. For more information, please visit: Can TextFree encrypt text messages?

However, you may still be able to use our services to communicate with your patients.

Additionally, TextFree does not offer a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), unfortunately.

While we can’t specifically recommend any of these services, the following companies advertise HIPAA messaging compliance on their websites which you may find helpful:
