Doximity’s messaging feature allows verified members to send HIPAA-secure messages to colleagues within the Doximity network.
NOTE: To send a Doximity message, both you and the recipient must be verified Doximity members and mutually connected as colleagues.
If you do not see the option to send a message, it may mean that one of the following applies:

- The recipient is not verified.
- You and the recipient are not mutually connected on Doximity.
