Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Secure Texting

With the texting application via Updox there are two ways to text, non-secure and secure. The latter has to have the patient enter their date of birth and last name then create a 5 digit code to receive or send any future texts with the office, the former does not require this extra step. I have decided to set up texting through the office as secure, which is a bit more cumbersome than non secure texting but easier than the Portal. I would rather text this way to avoid any mistakes, where PHI gets accidentally sent through non-secure texting.
