SMS Text notification is also used for 2-factor authentication (2FA):
All SMS Text notifications are triggered by the application via Twilio API calls. The notifications are “no-reply” as 2-way communication is not pertinent.
All SMS notifications are simple text. No attachments are allowed.
Users are directed to the secure web application https://app.cirrusmed.com if additional information is to be reviewed.
SMS Text notifications do not contain Personal Health Information (PHI).
