Learn more about how we keep your information secure and private.
Security at the center of everything.
Plato Healthcare is comprised of healthcare industry veterans. We take HIPAA compliance very seriously.
In 1996, the United States enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, also known as HIPAA. HIPAA is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge. HIPAA emphasizes 3 main points:
We design our products and services with HIPAA compliance fully in-mind. Your information is stored in HIPAA compliant environments. We routinely perform security audits and review access logs. And, most importantly, we highly restrict access to your data, more than any other organization we are aware of. No one can access your data, even if they tried or wanted, unless they have your explicit personal permission.
With other healthcare organizations, like hospitals, your health information is accessible by anyone. Doctors or nurses may access, read, and use your healthcare information without you ever knowing and without your consent. Additionally, analysts and researchers may also use your information without you knowing and without your consent.
At Plato Healthcare, we do not allow anyone to ever access your information for any reason. Your data is more secure and private with us.

A quick primer
For some of our services, we send information to customers via SMS text messages. In some scenarios, SMS text messages are not encrypted. This means there may be some level of risk that the information in the SMS text message could be read by a third party.
Please note this is an inherent risk to any SMS text message and not a risk created by Plato Healthcare.
Because we value your privacy and security, we do not send any sensitive information via SMS text message unless we receive your eplicit consent. Customers are also able to immediately revoke this consent at any time.
Customers are able to give (or revoke) their informed consent in 2 ways: (1) via SMS text message by sending our service a text message saying "I consent to receive text messages with my healthcare information" OR (2) by logging in to the Plato Healthcare patient information portal and navigating to the "Consents" tab.
Lastly, federal law indicates that SMS text messaging is HIPAA compliant in these circumstances. For more information or questions, please contact us.
