Encryption and Security. HIPAA Compliance

HIPAA, also known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a 1996 law that dictates how documents containing patient healthcare information should be transmitted. For healthcare professionals and others who often handle sensitive healthcare information, compliance with HIPAA guidelines is a crucial part of their work, especially as more and more healthcare information becomes stored and transmitted electronically. To Enable HIPAA Compliance on pdfFiller, navigate to My Account and choose SETTINGS.

Select Settings and click More Details in the Authentication and Access Security section.

Move the HIPAA Compliance toggle. pdfFiller distinguishes itself from many other document management services by offering a HIPAA compliance option to all of its Business plan customers. Through stringent encryption standards as well as safety and reporting protocols, pdfFiller has made sure that its services meet all HIPAA standards regarding the storage and transmission of healthcare information. Businesses can use features like pdfFiller’s online editor, SendToSign and Fax with healthcare documents without worrying about document compliance or security.

pdfFiller is different from and not affiliated with DocuSign. With further questions about DocuSign products please contact DocuSign directly.

Provided ease by timely consistence and effortless interface in preparing & modifying quality forms. Ease of use. From downloading to modifying. Short learning curve. Provided easy solution to modifying old forms by scanning/uploading and easy modification. From what little I used it to create new forms, more flexibility would have been nice for import and modifying images. But since I rarely used this program for creation I may not have explored the features properly.

For pdfFiller’s FAQs

Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Does FDA accept electronic signatures?

The FDA cannot hold digital signatures to a higher standard than paper signatures. The FDA will not check the signature on an electronic or paper-based submission unless there is a directed inspection involving that submission.

Does HIPAA allow electronic signatures?

Further, the Privacy Rule allows HIPAA authorizations to be obtained electronically from individuals, provided any electronic signature is valid under applicable law.

Are electronic signatures legally binding in Ireland?

Under the laws of Ireland, a written signature is not necessarily required for a valid contract — contracts are generally valid if legally competent parties reach an agreement, whether they agree verbally, electronically or in a physical paper document.
