How does sendHIPAA.com work?
Using sendHIPAA.com is easy! The functionality is very similar to most web-based e-mail systems.

First, log in to sendHIPAA.com and send a message to anyone with a valid e-mail address. Files can be attached if desired.

The recipient will receive an e-mail letting them know that they have a new message at sendHIPAA.com.

They can then click the link in the notification e-mail to access the message.

If the recipient has not yet verified their e-mail address, they will be asked to choose a password and verify their e-mail address. After that, the message will be available for them to view. Recipients can reply and send new messages to subscribers for free.

Does sendHIPAA.com provide any auditing (message tracking) features?
Yes, each time a message is viewed, the IP address of the client computer and a timestamp are recorded and saved in the message's audit log. This log can be viewed by selecting the message from your sent folder.
Where can I get more information about HIPAA?
