For customers who use Paubox Email Suite, there's a secret bonus integration already built in, HIPAA compliant calendar invites.

Here's how it works:

  • Once you connect Paubox Email Suite to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Microsoft Exchange, your calendar invites from each respective platform will use Paubox to securely email the invite to your recipients.
  • In other words, you can personalize the calendar invite (e.g., use PHI) and be HIPAA compliant.
  • Make sure you have a business associate agreement if your email service provider is based in the cloud. If you run Microsoft Exchange on hardware you own, a BAA is not necessary with Microsoft in this scenario.

Hypothetical example on how to get more than a year of Paubox for free, on top of saving $1,728

 

Using these three smart methods to save money with Paubox, here's a hypothetical example of how a small practice can get more than a year of Paubox for free, while also saving $1,728 in purchasing additional HIPAA compliant software:

  • Refer to two friends to Paubox. Once they successfully complete their respective 14 day trials, you'll have a $500 Paubox credit. If one defines a small practice as an office with about 5 employees, Paubox Email Suite is an annual investment of $348 a year. When factored against your $500 credit, that's nearly a year and a half of Paubox Email Suite for free.
  • Skip buying other HIPAA compliant calendar invite and secure contact form vendors. As we've illustrated above, the built-in features of Paubox Email Suite can save you an additional $1,728 a year.
