Patient records, insurance claims, clinical notes, and billing documents contain protected health information that must be redacted before sharing, reporting, or responding to requests. SafeRedact automates PHI detection while keeping every file in your browser.
Healthcare organizations handle protected health information (PHI) across thousands of documents daily. Insurance claims, patient intake forms, clinical notes, discharge summaries, and billing records all contain data protected under HIPAA. When this information needs to be shared — with researchers, auditors, legal teams, or in response to records requests — every instance of PHI must be identified and permanently removed. Manual redaction of medical documents is particularly error-prone because PHI appears in unexpected formats: diagnosis codes embedded in billing line items, patient identifiers in headers and footers, and provider notes that reference other patients by name.
Redact co-patient information, staff details, and non-relevant PHI from records produced in response to subpoenas or litigation holds.
Remove patient identifiers, diagnosis codes, and provider details from claims documentation before sharing with third-party auditors or billing services.
De-identify patient records for research use by redacting all 18 HIPAA identifiers, enabling compliant data sharing with research institutions.
Redact SSNs, insurance IDs, and diagnosis codes from billing statements before sharing with patients, collection agencies, or financial counsellors.
Remove patient and staff identifiers from incident reports, adverse event documentation, and quality improvement records.
Prepare documentation for CMS, state health department, or accreditation body audits with consistent, permanent redaction of non-relevant PHI.
PHI never leaves your device. SafeRedact processes documents locally — the complete file is never uploaded to any server. This eliminates the data breach risk inherent in cloud-based redaction tools.
Automatically identifies patient names, MRNs, SSNs, dates of birth, diagnosis codes, insurance IDs, and provider details across complex medical document formats.
Meets the HIPAA Safe Harbor de-identification standard. Redacted data is destroyed at the pixel level — not masked, not hidden, not recoverable.
Because complete files never leave your browser, SafeRedact's consumer product doesn't require a Business Associate Agreement for basic redaction use. Enterprise agreements are available for organizations that need them.
HIPAA's Privacy Rule requires covered entities to remove all 18 categories of identifiers when de-identifying protected health information under the Safe Harbor method. These include names, geographic data, dates, phone numbers, email addresses, SSNs, medical record numbers, health plan beneficiary numbers, and more. SafeRedact's AI detection is trained to identify these categories automatically. Note: SafeRedact is a redaction tool, not a certified HIPAA compliance platform. Organizations are responsible for verifying that redaction is complete and meets their specific compliance requirements.
SafeRedact processes documents in your browser — complete files never leave your device. The AI detection API processes only extracted text with zero-retention headers. SafeRedact does not store, log, or retain PHI. For organizations requiring a formal BAA, SafeRedact Enterprise agreements are available.
SafeRedact's AI detection covers the majority of HIPAA's 18 Safe Harbor identifiers, including names, dates, geographic data, phone numbers, email addresses, SSNs, and medical record numbers. We recommend reviewing all detections before finalising, as no automated system is 100% accurate.
SafeRedact can assist with the redaction step of de-identification. The determination of whether data is sufficiently de-identified for a specific research purpose should be made by your privacy officer or IRB.
