Frequently asked questions

Do you give medical advice?

No. We do not provide clinical guidance. We follow your protocols to identify urgency and immediately connect or page your on‑call clinician.

What languages do you support?

English/Spanish coverage with access to an interpreter line for 200+ additional languages, plus optional AI translation service for real-time message translation and documentation.

How do you handle PHI?

We operate under a HIPAA BAA, restrict access by role, verify identity before discussing PHI, and transmit messages securely.
