Legacy IDV vs MyProof
| Legacy IDV |
MyProof |
| Copy the ID record into the healthcare workflow and expand the data surface around intake. |
Verify the patient on device and return only the proof result needed for the workflow. |
| Treat patient identity proofing as another stored intake document. |
Keep the full ID record and medical history out of the verification payload. |
| Use broad privacy claims that sound like a full compliance substitute. |
State the boundary plainly: data minimization for identity verification, not a full HIPAA program. |
Frequently asked questions
Is MyProof a HIPAA compliance certification?
No. MyProof is an identity verification layer that supports data minimization. It does not replace a provider's full HIPAA compliance program.
What patient data is never sent during verification?
Medical history, diagnosis, treatment records, and the full identity record are not part of the MyProof verification result.
Where does the ID check happen?
The document check and policy evaluation happen on the user's phone. The healthcare workflow receives the proof result it needs for the intake decision.
Who is this best for?
It fits telehealth intake, patient portal recovery, high-risk visit types, and healthcare workflows that need stronger identity assurance with less retained identity data.
