How is my staff trained?

Is there any equipment to buy?


No. Unlike other clinical photography tools which require the purchase of bulky and expensive equipment, RxPhoto works with your desktop and mobile devices.

Is there a limit to the number of staff I can have on my account?

No. You can have an unlimited number of users on your account. Standard plans are for 1 location and 3 licenses, meaning 3 users may be logged in simultaneously on 3 separate devices. For information on adding additional licenses or locations, please see the RxPhoto pricing page.

Can my staff use their own device(s)?

Absolutely. Because images are stored on the RxPhoto HIPAA compliant cloud server, and never on the mobile device, your staff is free to use their own personal device. Please have your staff complete HIPAA training to ensure that they do not violate any HIPAA guidelines on their personal device.

Can I import my existing photos?

Is there a limit to the number of photos I can store in RxPhoto?

Are photos stored on my mobile device?

Images are never stored to the mobile device, which is one of the ways RxPhoto helps practice maintain HIPAA compliance. Please have your staff complete HIPAA training to ensure that they do not violate any HIPAA guidelines on the device.
