Next-morning text after a missed or dropped call
A short, generic text lets someone know a person will call them back.
What it does
Sends one approved message and alerts staff to call back.
Where the privacy line sits
A phone number tied to a call to a treatment center is PHI. Texts need consent and generic previews that don't reveal the program type on a shared phone.
- PHI: BAA required. Touches protected health information. Needs a Business Associate Agreement if HIPAA applies.
- Consent for AI calls or texts. AI-voiced calls generally need prior express consent under the TCPA. Have counsel review consent language.
- 42 CFR Part 2. May touch substance use disorder records covered by Part 2. Get counsel's review of consent and redisclosure.
What stays human
The callback itself.
