To meet the security and privacy standards set by HIPAA, we utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to secure this transmission. SSL is the industry standard security protocol. SSL creates a shared digital key, which only lets the sender and the receiver of the transmission scramble or unscramble information. To everyone else, the SSL transmission is indecipherable. This is the same level of security used by financial institutions and popular online retail outlets to secure sensitive data. Although no security process is 100% secure, we will continue to use the latest technologies available to ensure that our patient's private health information is protected to the fullest extent possible.

Most modern browsers will display an image of a closed lock or an unbroken key and a URL beginning with HTTPS indicating a secure session has been established.
