HIPAA Compliance Questions to Ask

Not all “online forms” are designed for healthcare. If your forms collect medical history, insurance details, or any other sensitive patient information, it is important to verify that your vendor is set up for HIPAA compliance.

Here are a few practical questions to ask before choosing an online forms solution:

• Is data encrypted while patients are submitting it and while it is stored?
• Can access be restricted by user accounts (not shared logins)?
• Are submissions delivered and accessed in a secure way, rather than plain email?
• Does the system support secure storage, reporting, and controlled access to submissions?
• Can the vendor support HIPAA compliance requirements for handling ePHI?

MedForward Forms is built specifically for HIPAA-compliant online patient intake. The goal is simple: help practices put forms online without creating extra risk, while keeping the workflow easy for both patients and staff.
