Actually, I am on the Aira ‎WhatsApp group, and I have heard some talk about this from Aira in that group. I have not heard an official release date yet, but they are saying it is on the roadmap for the near future.

Good morning,

I've seen no official update to say this is true, and I'm pretty sure it isn't. Aira has said for years they succeed hippa so hippa isn't necessary. Also it would cost them thousands of dollars to make every agent compliant under HIPPA. If you have proof great, but until I see it I am doubtful.

Thank you,

Hey friends.
Many of us have been limited in the use of AIRA over the years due to HIPAA compliance. Well, now that is a thing of the past. See attached!
Gratefully,
