Key Takeaways

Rythm is HIPAA compliant, and results are delivered through your private account never through an insurance claim.
No automatic sharing with insurers, employers, or the government. You decide who sees what.

HIPAA, in One Paragraph

HIPAA is the federal framework setting privacy and security standards for individually identifiable health information how it may be used, disclosed, accessed, and safeguarded. Rythm is HIPAA compliant, and its website, laboratory workflow, account system, and data-handling practices are designed around protecting your health information. Your part: protect your password, your devices, and your email account, as with any health platform.

Who Can See Your Results

You. Rythm doesn't bill insurance, so results never enter an insurance claim automatically, and nothing is sent to your employer someone would generally need access to your account, or to receive results from you directly. Whether to share with your clinician, insurer, or anyone else is your call, subject only to the limited disclosures permitted or required under applicable law and Rythm's privacy policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Rythm different?

Most blood testing companies charge $500 or more for a single test per biomarker, providing only a one-time snapshot that doesn’t capture your long-term health trends or reflect your true baseline. This approach can lead to missed patterns or even misdiagnoses due to limited data. Rythm takes a different approach, using monthly tracking to build a detailed picture of your health over time. This allows for more accurate insights, better optimization, and a clearer understanding of how your body is evolving.
