How to use Doxy.me in a HIPAA-compliant way

Important caveats
- The self-serve BAA on Free/Professional is for a single provider only; group practices must arrange a Clinic BAA

- Confirm the executed BAA covers every feature you plan to use before transmitting PHI
The bottom line
No software is "HIPAA compliant" on its own. HIPAA compliance is a property of your organization, not a tool. Even with a signed BAA, you remain responsible for configuring Doxy.me correctly, limiting access to PHI, training staff, and maintaining your own safeguards. This page is general information, not legal advice; confirm current terms with Doxy.me.
