HIPAA compliant telehealth platforms help healthcare providers deliver virtual care while protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI). But no platform is automatically compliant—providers must configure security settings correctly, enforce access controls, and sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
The right platform depends on your practice size, specialty, integrations, and security requirements.

Learn MoreWhat Makes a Telehealth Platform HIPAA Compliant?
A telehealth platform supports HIPAA compliance when it includes:
- End-to-end encryption
- Secure authentication
- Role-based access controls
- Audit logs
- Secure storage
- Transmission security
- Signed Business Associate Agreement
According to the HHS HIPAA Security Rule, covered entities must implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect ePHI.
Additionally, NIST SP 800-66 Rev. 2 provides guidance for implementing HIPAA safeguards in real-world environments.
