Doxy.me – a Free Video Visit Platform for SC Providers

The SCTA offers free, premium Doxy.me memberships to providers across South Carolina to facilitate the use of telehealth. Doxy.me is a HIPAA-compliant, easy-to-use, web-based platform that brings telehealth services to patients in any location. Although Doxy.me offers a free instance, our premium membership includes a greater breadth of functionality, such as the ability to share screens, take pictures, and engage in group calls.

If you are interested in utilizing the premium membership, please complete this Request Form, and the SCTA team will create your account. Once the SCTA Team has added the requested user(s), an invitation email will be sent from Doxy.me to the email address(es) provided. You MUST use this invitation in order to activate your account and access the premium account features.

For more information on the platform, please visit the Doxy.me website. Be sure to check out their Help Center, which includes education and training materials for both providers and patients to get started.
