Read the Q&A from Lob healthcare experts
How can we keep direct mail workflows HIPAA-compliant and "airtight" around PHI?
Lob supports your HIPAA compliance through vetted print facilities, BAAs, and HIPAA/HITECH privacy audits. While we’ve worked hard to implement industry-leading standards, your organization ultimately owns its compliance program, so work with your compliance team to ensure Lob fits within your existing policies and safeguards.
What type of healthcare mail should we automate?
High-volume, recurring communications are a great fit for automation. Use Lob's direct mail API to trigger test results, eligibility updates, appointment reminders, and billing statements based on parameters from your EHR or CRM. Automating frequent sends reduces manual handling of PHI and creates consistent, auditable workflows.
How do we improve mail delivery reliability for time-sensitive outreach?
Lob's Print Delivery Network routes mail closer to its destination, so it enters USPS mailstreams faster and hits mailboxes more reliably. Pair that with real-time tracking and built-in address verification to reduce undeliverables and keep time-sensitive communications on schedule.
