Send secure referral emails to other practitioners
Hushmail's secure email messaging makes it simple to send referral emails. Just enter your recipient's email address to start a secure conversation.


Recipients are invited to a secure place to continue the conversation
Some encrypted email solutions only protect messages for the split second they're being sent.
Once those emails land in another practitioner's inbox, sensitive information can sit unencrypted as plain text, exposed to risk.
When you send a secure email message with Hushmail, recipients get a secure link in their inbox to view and respond to your email in our secure platform. Supporting both your and your colleagues' HIPAA compliance.

Fantastic Customer Service, Experts in HIPAA Compliance for Healthcare Providers
I chose Hushmail for its informative website on HIPAA policies for healthcare providers, and the initial discovery call with Mahsa who thoroughly answered my questions and explained their services. It was an easy process to get started, and the customer service team has been very helpful! I am glad that I chose Hushmail to help me secure protected health information in my new practice. A bonus service they offer is a form building tool that I can use for my website or to directly e-mail patients intake paperwork. Thank you Hushmail for being an important part of my team!
“Provide patients the peace of mind that their information is secure”
In addition to providing the email needs that are required for HIPAA compliance, they also provide easy-to-embed forms like Appointment Requests and Review of Systems ... Not only are the forms HIPAA-compliant but they also provide patients the peace of mind that their information is secure.

If you’re looking for HIPAA-compliant web forms, there are several things to consider: Is it simple enough? Does it have the healthcare features I need? Is it affordable? Is the customer support good? Is it suitable for my small or medium practice? Can I add e-signatures?
- Many popular form builders, like Jotform, are large companies that serve a wide range of industries. While they may offer HIPAA-compliant forms, they’re more expensive, typically $99/month or more — just for forms. With our Hushmail for Healthcare Essentials plan, you get 3 forms included for $14.99/month or 25 forms included for $17.99/month on our Hushmail for Healthcare Growth plan.
- Many larger form builders don’t offer the same knowledgeable, one-on-one customer support. At Hushmail, you get personalized support from Customer Care, a team of dedicated experts who talk to healthcare practitioners on a daily basis and understand the challenges of running a practice. You get this top-notch support no matter what plan you choose.
- Even though some builders include healthcare templates, many of them don’t have body charts (important for massage therapy, chiropractic, physical therapy, and other types of healthcare).

Remember, too, when it comes to client management, email messages and forms tend to go hand in hand. When you use Hushmail, you don’t have to manage a separate tool for your forms. Form submissions land straight in your inbox. That way, your client's messages and form submissions all live in the same secure space.
-
