HIPAA email security for dental offices

Dental practices handle X-rays, treatment plans, and insurance submissions daily. HIPAA Companion keeps every communication compliant across locations—from solo offices to DSOs.

Common dental HIPAA risks

The compliance risks every dental office faces

Unencrypted email

Sending X-rays, treatment plans, and referrals via standard Gmail or Outlook is a HIPAA risk—even when messages are never intercepted.

Unsecured faxes

Physical fax machines expose records in waiting rooms and output trays. Insurance and specialist referrals need encrypted cloud fax.

Missing BAA

Many dental offices lack signed BAAs with email, scheduling, or billing vendors—a finding OCR cites frequently in dental audits.
