How to Send Personal Medical History via Email

In recent discussions about electronic communications and HIPAA, we covered emails and text messaging with patients, assessing their compliance with HIPAA regulations. This week, we shift focus to medical records and documentation. It's vital to recognize that any electronic communication—whether via email, text, or messaging software—related to a patient's care, diagnosis, or condition should be included in the patient's medical record. However, communications concerning scheduling appointments do not need to be documented.

HIPAA does not prohibit the electronic transmission of PHI. Electronic communications, including email, are permitted, although HIPAA-covered entities must apply reasonable safeguards when transmitting ePHI to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data.
Yes, organizations can send PHI via email, if it is secure and encrypted. ing to the HHS, the Security Rule does not expressly prohibit the use of email for sending ePHI.
Ensure that no personal health information is in the subject line of the email. Only place essential information in the body of the email. Personal health information should be sent as an encrypted attachment. Whenever possible, reduce the amount of sensitive information in the body of the email.
The answer is yes; you can email medical records securely, but only when the email itself is HIPAA compliant. So, if youre wondering whether email is HIPAA compliant, the answer is also yes, but with a condition.
There is a common misconception that email is a secure way to send and receive PHI. On its own, email is not a secure platform to transmit PHI. In fact, using Googles email service, Gmail, to send PHI without encryption is against Googles Terms of Service.
Generally, HHS Office for Civil Rights states that if an individual provides a Covered Entity with an email address or initiates a communication by email, consent is implied. However, individuals should be warned of the risks of communicating PHI by email and the warning should be documented.
Ensure you have end-to-end encryption for email Email is a quick and easy way to communicate electronically, but it is not necessarily secure. Even services that encrypt messages in transit may not have the required level of security to make them HIPAA compliant.
Isnt that against HIPAA? Sending PHI via unencrypted email does not violate HIPAA, but Covered Entities and Business Associates must take reasonable steps to ensure the patient understands and acknowledges the risk of unsecured email transmission.
