What makes a texting platform HIPAA compliant?
Standard SMS does not meet HIPAA requirements. A compliant platform must cover these requirements before you can safely text patients.
Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

A signed contract between your practice and the platform vendor confirming PHI is handled in compliance with HIPAA. Required before you can legally use any third-party tool to text patients.
End-to-end encryption

All messages, notes, recordings, and attachments must be encrypted in transit and at rest so patient data cannot be intercepted or accessed by unauthorized parties.
Audit trail

Every ePHI access event must be logged with timestamps, user IDs, and IP addresses — and retained long enough to meet HIPAA requirements.

Session controls and 2FA

Mandatory two-factor authentication and automatic session logout prevent unauthorized access when a device is left unattended.

Minimum necessary access

Staff should only access the PHI they need to do their job. HIPAA requires covered entities to limit who can view, use, or share patient information to the minimum necessary for each role.

Frequently asked questions
Is texting patients HIPAA compliant?

Not with a standard phone or consumer messaging app. To text patients in a HIPAA compliant way, you need a platform that includes a signed BAA, end-to-end encryption, a full audit trail, and session controls. Salesmsg covers all of these when HIPAA mode is enabled.

Is texting patient information a HIPAA violation?

It can be. Texting PHI — appointment details, test results, or prescription information — through a personal phone or a non-compliant app is a HIPAA violation. Using a platform with a signed BAA and encryption is the correct way to send patient information by text.

What is a BAA and do I need one?

A Business Associate Agreement is a contract between your practice and any vendor that handles protected health information on your behalf. If you use a texting platform to communicate with patients, you need a BAA with that vendor. Salesmsg provides a BAA for qualifying accounts.

What happens if my practice gets audited?

When HIPAA mode is on, Salesmsg logs every ePHI access and encryption event with timestamps, user IDs, and IP addresses. Logs are retained for 6+ years and can be exported on demand. Each export is itself recorded as an audited event.

Can small clinics and independent practices use Salesmsg?

Yes. Salesmsg works for teams of any size, from solo practitioners to multi-location health networks. Setup takes under an hour, no IT team required, and the platform connects to the tools you already use.

What is the best HIPAA compliant texting app for therapists?

Therapists need a platform that handles scheduling, client follow-ups, and session reminders without requiring a portal login or app download. Salesmsg lets you text clients from your existing business number, keeps a full encrypted message history, and includes a BAA.

What patient communication scenarios does Salesmsg support?

Appointment reminders, prescription pickup notifications, telehealth session links, post-visit check-ins, billing follow-ups, and two-way front desk to patient messaging. Patients can reply, confirm appointments, or ask questions without a phone call.

How do I set up HIPAA compliant texting for my practice?

Enable HIPAA mode in your Salesmsg account settings, request a BAA, and connect to your existing phone number or CRM. HIPAA mode activates encryption, 2FA, session controls, and audit logging automatically. Most practices are ready in under an hour.
