HIPAA Considerations

While Paperform offers enterprise-grade security including SOC 2 Type II compliance, it's important to note that Paperform is not a HIPAA-compliant solution. Mental health practices handling protected health information (PHI) should ensure their overall data handling practices meet HIPAA requirements, including use of Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all technology vendors where required.
