Canada vs. U.S. Privacy Compliance
Canadian clinics need more than HIPAA talking points. Here's how MedReception AI aligns with PIPEDA and provincial statutes so your AI medical receptionist is audit-ready.
| Category | HIPAA (U.S.) | Canada (PIPEDA + Provincial Acts) |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Protects PHI within the U.S. healthcare system. | Protects personal information across industries; PHI falls under provincial health privacy acts. |
| Applies To | Providers, payers, and business associates handling PHI. | All private-sector orgs (PIPEDA) plus health custodians under PHIPA, HIA, PIPA, etc. |
| Consent | Allows use/disclosure without explicit consent in many workflows. | Requires meaningful, informed consent for collection and use. |
| Storage Location | Mandates safeguards but no explicit location rule. | Permits storage abroad if disclosed and protected with equivalent safeguards. |
| Penalties | Federal civil and criminal penalties. | Federal and provincial fines with enforcement by privacy commissioners. |
Key message: MedReception AI meets or exceeds the safeguards required under PIPEDA and provincial acts like PHIPA (Ontario), HIA (Alberta), and PIPA (BC).

No training on PHI or customer data
Canadian clinics remain the sole owners of their data. All PHI is handled in line with PIPEDA and your provincial health act.
Data Residency Question
Does data legally need to stay in Canada?
Short answer: No.
PIPEDA allows storage outside Canada as long as patients are informed and the same or stronger safeguards are applied. MedReception AI operates on U.S.-based HIPAA-grade infrastructure, which exceeds PIPEDA requirements.
For clinics that require Canadian data residency, on-prem or Canadian-region options are under development for late 2025.

AI Medical Receptionist FAQ · Canada
Answers to the most common AI front desk questions from Canadian practices.
Is MedReception AI a compliant AI medical receptionist for Canadian clinics?
Yes. MedReception AI operates as an AI medical receptionist built for PIPEDA and provincial acts. Safeguards mirror HIPAA-grade controls while meeting PHIPA, HIA, and PIPA expectations, so every intake, triage, and note adheres to Canadian privacy rules.
How does your AI front desk integrate with Canadian phone systems?
Our AI front desk connects to existing carriers like Telus, Bell, Rogers, Shaw, and UnitedCloud. We forward or mirror current numbers, so clinics keep their workflows while AI handles first-line answering, booking, and escalation.
Does the AI medical receptionist replace staff?
No. MedReception AI offloads repetitive calls, voicemail follow-up, and scheduling so human staff can focus on in-clinic care. Teams treat it as a 24/7 front desk partner that documents calls instantly and hands off nuanced cases to real people.
