Wix Adds HIPAA Compliance: What It Means for Healthcare & Wellness Businesses

At MJC Agency, we closely track every major platform update that impacts how our clients operate online. A significant new development just dropped: Wix has introduced HIPAA compliance support for applicable services.

This update opens the door for healthcare, wellness, and medical-adjacent businesses to confidently use Wix while meeting critical data protection standards.

What HIPAA Compliance Means (In Simple Terms)

HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) sets strict requirements for how protected health information (PHI) is collected, stored, and transmitted online. If your website handles things like:

• Patient intake forms

• Appointment requests with medical details

• Health histories or treatment inquiries

• Secure client communications

You are responsible for ensuring that data is handled in a HIPAA-compliant way.

Until now, many businesses assumed Wix couldn’t be used in regulated healthcare environments. That has officially changed.

What Wix’s HIPAA Support Includes

Wix now offers HIPAA-compliant functionality for qualifying sites and use cases, including:

• Secure data handling infrastructure

• Encrypted form submissions

• Controlled access to sensitive data

• Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) where required

• Compliance-aligned services for approved features

Important: HIPAA compliance is not automatic. It must be configured correctly, and only certain Wix services qualify.

Who This Is Ideal For

This update is especially impactful for:

• Private medical practices

• Mental health professionals & therapists

• Physical therapy clinics

• Wellness coaches & holistic providers

• Telehealth and health-tech startups

• Medical consultants and specialists

If your website is client-facing and involves health-related information, this is a major opportunity.

Why This Matters for MJC Agency Clients

A Critical Reminder

HIPAA compliance is not just a platform feature. It depends on:

• How your site is built

• Which Wix features are used

• How data is collected and stored

• Ongoing operational practices

  
  

This is why working with an experienced agency matters.
