Secure Server Connection

Connecting an existing mail server to the secure .mdEmail^® platform is easy. In a short amount of time, with no disruption in service, you can allow your email users to exchange encrypted protected health information with anyone anywhere on the Internet. Contact us now to set up your secure connection.

The ability to effectively, securely communicate and exchange information among health care providers in a cost-effective way is essential for the wellness, protection and progress of the industry. The .mdEmail^® secure exchange connection can facilitate encrypted exchange of ePHI, even for those larger entities such as hospitals or clinics that run their own email exchange server. We offer access to connect these types of organizations to our network via a virtual private network (vpn) connection. By integrating into our network connection, you can also utilize SendAnywhere technology to send an encrypted email to anyone anywhere over the Internet. The vpn connection also allows anyone in this setting to send and receive email to and from other .mdEmail^® customers, just as other .mdEmail^® customers do, without any further encryption needed.

HIPAA clearly states that a system must be in place to handle the secure transmission and storage of all electronic files. Additionally, the HITECH Act of 2009 revised the civil monetary penalty schedule for violations to HIPAA compliance, with new fines ranging from $100 up to $50,000 for each violation. The HITECH act also empowered state attorneys general to enforce HIPAA, which was previously the responsibility of HHS (Department of Health and Human Services) and OIG (Office of Inspector General).

Subscribers to the Secure Server Connection also can protect their practice or organization from incurring costly fines for HIPAA violations. Whether your organization is classified as a "Business Associate" or a "Covered Entity", the program helps your office gain compliance with HIPAA’s Security Standards and Technical Safeguards relative to the use, transmission, and protection of ePHI.

Your office efficiency is critical to productivity and profitability. The mdEmail Secure Server Connection enables an efficient, cost-effective and paperless communication between physicians, patients or any independent business counterpart within the health care community.
