There are no other hidden fees and they can cancel any time and switch back to “Sync.MD Free Plan”.

Does my doctor need to be registered for me to use it?

There is no requirement to execute any business associate agreements (BAA).  Sync.MD is a Personal Health Records system operated directly on behalf of patients. HIPAA allows Covered Entities to exchange information directly with consumers.
