SMS Privacy and Terms of Use
Orthopaedic Surgical Partners collects mobile phone numbers to communicate with patients via SMS and/or RCS text messages for purposes such as appointment reminders, billing notifications, and care coordination.
SMS Privacy
Your privacy is a priority. Your mobile number will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, and we will not use your number for unrelated marketing without your express written consent. Participation is voluntary, and you are not required to opt in as a condition of receiving care; however, opting out may prevent us from sending you timely updates regarding your care.
SMS Terms
By providing your mobile number, you consent to receive recurring automated SMS and/or RCS messages from Orthopaedic Surgical Partners for appointment reminders, billing notifications, and care coordination. Message frequency may vary, and message and data rates may apply.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Text messages sent via SMS and RCS channels are not fully secure and may not be HIPAA-compliant; however, we take reasonable precautions to safeguard your privacy by restricting the content of these messages to non-sensitive notifications. Any messages containing detailed Protected Health Information (PHI) will be sent via a separate, secure messaging channel.
You may opt out of receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP. You will receive a final confirmation text to verify you have opted out, and no further messages will be sent. If you would like to rejoin, you can authorize us to restart by texting START.
