How to Send a HIPAA-Secure Message on Doximity

 

Doximity’s messaging feature allows verified members to send HIPAA-secure messages to colleagues within the Doximity network.

Members can use messaging to communicate directly with their professional connections and securely share information and supported file attachments. To send a message, both members must be verified and connected as colleagues on Doximity.

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:

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