How Stable provides HIPAA-compliant virtual management

Trusted by thousands of modern companies

Why HIPAA compliance matters for mail

Healthcare businesses must protect patient health information, even when it arrives by mail. Lab results, insurance forms, and patient medical records, must be stored, handled, and accessed correctly to avoid fines.

Secure virtual mailboxes for protected health information (PHI)

Stable’s virtual mail service meets HIPAA standards for privacy and access control. We digitize, encrypt, and store all incoming mail to safeguard PHI and eliminate mailroom and handling risk.

Establish a HIPAA-compliant business address

We offer permanent business addresses nationwide, or keep your current address and choose to forward mail to our  secure, in-house processing centers. Each center is professionally managed with top-tier security, giving you a safe, reliable way to receive mail, access it digitally, and act on it instantly.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a virtual mailbox HIPAA-compliant?
To be HIPAA compliant, a virtual mail provider must follow industry requirements around data security, including end-to-end encryption, physical access safeguards, and controlled access to PHI. Additionally, the provider should be willing to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), which Stable does on request for healthcare clients.

Can Stable handle PHI like patient records or lab results?
Yes! As a HIPAA-compliant provider able to sign a BAA, Stable is qualified to reliably handle patient records, lab results, and other PHI and ePHI.

Who can benefit from HIPAA-compliant virtual mailboxes?
Any business that needs to meet HIPAA compliance requirements. These include healthcare organizations, telehealth providers, medical billing companies, healthcare software and services startups, and more.

Is a physical office required for HIPAA compliance?
No. If your business handles U.S.-based PHI, you must comply with HIPAA no matter where that work takes place.

How quickly can I start using Stable?
Businesses can normally start using their virtual address and online dashboard right away. Because physical mail is already in motion, mail forwarding may take a few days to kick in.

Does Stable offer access logs or audit trails?
Yes; all access to mail scans stored with Stable is logged and audit-ready.

Can I limit who accesses specific types of mail?
Yes. Stable offers both account-based access control (per user) and role-based access (based on job type, department, etc.).
