It is my understanding that "land" lines are considered secure under "normal" circumstances, which is in the HIPPA regs. If you are using cell phones, which I do, it is "suggested" that you use little identifying data. We stick to first names, which I think most therapist do. And my voice mail is private with a password.
The intent of the regs is more directed to medical issues, so I can see the confusion.
