MaxMD Expands Secure Electronic Healthcare Communication

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 17, 2010 -- FORT LEE, NJ – MaxMD, a provider of secure web services to healthcare organizations, announced that it has enhanced its market leading product suite for HIPAA-compliant electronic communication.

Beginning September 20, 2010 the basic offering will include:
- HIPAA-compliant audit controls
- 3 Gigabytes of secure email storage
- mdSecureSend is now available to mdEmail customers at no additional cost.

mdSecureSend is a unique service designed expressly for the healthcare community. It supports patient, peer, or business associate initiation of inbound secure messages to any mdEmail user.

Prior to the advent of mdSecureSend, many individuals either sent private information in an uncontrolled email or required a secure web portal. The secure web portal paradigm puts a burden on healthcare organizations due to time costs, lack of immediacy, and minimal features. Many users resist the concept of electronic post office boxes.

mdSecureSend allows users to receive protected emails in real time to devices including iPhone, Blackberry, PalmOS, Windows Mobile, PC, Mac or Linux platforms. Simply put, it lets individuals work efficiently and securely.

Pricing for a basic mdEmail account, which already includes the ‘.md’ domain registration and a one-page website with basic contact information and hyperlinks, will remain $150 per year.

“With the increase in HIPAA enforcement actions and fines, healthcare workers must have a simple, reliable, and inexpensive solution for secure, compliant electronic communication,” said Scott Finlay, MaxMD CEO and co-founder. “These enhancements to our basic package make mdEmail® a total solution that can be implemented in matter of minutes with negligible expense. Even without the compliance benefits, our services save customers thousands of dollars a year in postage and other costs.”
