Let patients book themselves online, day or night, while Bookafy handles reminders, intake, and confirmations — with privacy built for healthcare. Bookafy supports HIPAA-compliant scheduling for medical, dental, and wellness practices.
When patients book online, they share protected health information — names, contact details, the reason for a visit. Any tool that touches that data needs to handle it with care. Generic scheduling links weren’t built for healthcare. Bookafy was made to support medical and wellness practices that need privacy and reliability, not just a calendar.
Bookafy supports HIPAA-compliant scheduling, so patient details are handled with the care healthcare requires rather than treated like any other contact form.
Automatic SMS and email reminders are included. Patients confirm, reschedule, or cancel on their own — which keeps your schedule full and your front desk off the phone.
Collect the forms and questions you need at booking, so patients arrive ready and your staff isn’t chasing paperwork.
Run a whole practice from one account. Route each patient to the right provider, service, or location automatically.
Patients book against your real availability any time of day, with calendar sync to Google, Outlook, and more so nothing double-books.
The booking page carries your practice’s name and look. For larger health systems, full white-label is available as an enterprise setup.
Primary care, specialists, and urgent care that need patients booking themselves with privacy in mind.
Cleanings, consults, and recalls booked and reminded automatically across multiple chairs.

The one question that decides it
For a clinic, a dental office or a therapy practice, HIPAA isn’t a feature — it’s the gate. A booking tool that can’t sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) can’t legally handle patient data, whatever its marketing says. Here’s where the popular schedulers actually stand.
Calendly’s own customer terms tell you not to put protected health information into it. It will not sign a BAA on any plan, including Enterprise. Without a signed BAA a healthcare provider legally cannot use it for patient data, so for a small practice it is off the table on day one.
Acuity will sign a BAA — but only on its top Powerhouse plan at $49 a month. Its cheaper tiers won’t, and text reminders don’t start until the mid tier. HIPAA is real here, just not at the entry price.
Bookafy’s Pro+ tier is built for HIPAA-compliant scheduling at $11 per user a month — the lowest-priced HIPAA-capable tier in this comparison — and we sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for Pro+ customers. Encrypted booking, intake and reminders, without an enterprise contract.
One rule applies to every vendor on this page: get the signed BAA in writing before you store a single patient’s data. Bookafy signs one for Pro+ customers — ask us for it. For any other vendor, that document — not a "HIPAA compliant" badge on a pricing page — is what makes a scheduler accountable for the information it holds.
HIPAA-compliant scheduling, reminders, and intake in one place. Start free — no credit card required.
HIPAA is on Pro+, not Pro — and the plan is only half the decision. Each guide below is written for one kind of practice and says plainly where Bookafy is the wrong tool.
