This page shows exactly how Brio Clinical asks patients for permission to send them text messages, and the words they are shown when we ask. It exists so anyone — a patient, a mobile carrier, or a regulator — can see the consent step without signing in.

Where we ask

Every patient is asked in one of two places, and the wording is identical in both:

• In the patient portal, at https://lab.brioclinical.com/portal. A checkbox appears on the patient's own record. It is unchecked when the record is created.
• In person at the collection site, where laboratory staff read the same wording aloud and record the patient's answer on their record.

The consent we ask for

Text me appointment reminders, result notifications and sign-in codes from Brio Clinical at the mobile number above. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

This is the checkbox as a patient sees it. It is never pre-ticked, and consent is never a condition of receiving laboratory services.

What we send

• Appointment reminders, with the option to confirm, cancel or reschedule by replying.
• Notice that your laboratory results are ready to view, with a link to sign in. We never send a result itself by text message.
• One-time codes when you sign in to the patient portal or reset a password.

We never send marketing or promotional messages. Message frequency varies with your own appointments and results. Message and data rates may apply.

How to stop

Reply STOP to any message. You will receive one confirmation and nothing further:

Brio Clinical: You are unsubscribed and will receive no further messages. Reply START to resume. For help call 725-258-3500.

Reply START to resume:

Brio Clinical: You are now opted in to appointment reminders, result notifications and sign-in codes. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.

Reply HELP at any time:
