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 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 remain unencrypted in plain text, exposing it 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 web page. Supporting both your and your colleagues' HIPAA compliance.
How to send a secure referral
1. Start a secure message

2. Add referral details
Include the information and documents they need to evaluate or accept the referral.
3. Send securely
The recipient receives a secure link to view your message.
4. Continue the conversation
They can respond inside the secure web page, keeping follow-up questions and details in one protected place.

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.
