Currently, our patients print the forms and bring them in. HIFM, you had it encrypted and sent in? For a new patient? How, may I ask? You can see how we do ours right now, just go to our website.
George, I will take a look at your link a little later today.
No need to appologize Bert. I don't think I was really clear overall in stating what I am trying to do. My bad. Now, its not just HIPAA that concerns me here. The form asks for their SSN, and I don't want that sent electronically w/o some type of protection from snooping eyes. Plus, it gives consent to our privacy policies and for us to collect the insurance payment directly. Yeah, I hadn't thought of the button thing until last night.
Hockey, you bring up some interesting concerns about the e-visit portal of choice. Especially since ALL of the companies ONLY accept RelayHealth. They won't cover Medem,which is sponsored by the AMA. Not to mention any other company's system.
