Boston Medical Center Health System (BMCHS) hospitals and clinics may send you text messages. These messages can include things like appointment reminders, prescription reminders, billing updates, care coordination, and one-time passcodes for MyChart login.
You do not have to sign up for text messages to receive care. Signing up is your choice. However, if you choose not to receive texts, you may miss important updates about your care. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.*
Mobile carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.
Text messages sent through standard messaging (SMS or RCS) are not fully secure and may not comply with state and U.S. Privacy Regulations. However, we take steps to protect your privacy. We limit texts to general, non-sensitive information. If we need to send detailed health information, we will use a secure method instead.
You can stop receiving text messages at any time by replying “STOP.” You will get one final message to confirm you have unsubscribed. After that, you will not receive more texts. If you want to start receiving messages again, you can text “START.”
Your privacy is important to us. We will not sell or share your phone number with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.* We will not use your number for marketing without your written permission.
