What do you like best?
I enjoy very much that I can scan in documents and then fill in and add things to them easily.
What do you dislike?
Very little. But sometimes I find I accidentally click on the up/down bar instead of the buttons. Also, some of the buttons are not intuitive, but trial and error works well, and mistakes are easily deleted.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I used to need a type writer (or hand write) sometimes still to comply with using the forms given to me by the government. Now, I can upload them and use the computer. Much better.

Great service. I thought my subscription had expired but the tech support hooked me back up in a jiffy! I prefer to use PDFfiller program rather than the Acrobat Reader DC program. I will always renew my subscription in the future.

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.
Patient names (first and last name or last name and initial) are one of the 18 identifiers classed as protected health information (PHI) in the HIPAA Privacy Rule. HIPAA does not prohibit the electronic transmission of PHI.
Is texting initials A HIPAA violation?
Many healthcare organizations are confused about the use of text messages and whether SMS texting is a violation of HIPAA Rules. However, SMS texting is a violation of HIPAA Rules if the text messages contain any protected health information for which a patient had not given their consent.
Are initials A HIPAA violation?
Displaying names, especially when it's limited to first names and/or initials, does not breach the Privacy Rule nor, for that matter, do sign-in logs, patient names on hospital doors, or publicly available treatment schedules. All of these cases are well within the application of HIPAA privacy regulations.
Is texting confidential?
Text messages are electronic communications sent with a mobile device or computer system. Text messages can transmit photos, videos and written word formats of communication. All text messages containing sensitive and confidential information must be sent in a secure, encrypted and approved format.
Is iPhone texting HIPAA compliant?
iMessage is a built-in instant messaging (IM) service offered by Apple for all its devices. There are a number of HIPAA-compliant messaging and data storage apps that have long been popular with iPhone and Mac users in the health care field, but Apple's iMessage messaging service remains unsecure and non-compliant.
Can you text Phi?
While HIPAA does not specifically prohibit sending PHI by text, in order for texting to be HIPAA-compliant, texting safeguards have to be in place to ensure the confidentiality of PHI when it is at rest and in transit.
Is last name only a HIPAA violation?
Patient names (first and last name or last name and initial) are one of the 18 identifiers classed as protected health information (PHI) in the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Sending an email containing PHI to an incorrect recipient would be an unauthorized disclosure and a violation of HIPAA.
Is last name only considered PHI?
PHI vs. PIN: As the name implies, personally identifiable information is any data that can identify a person. Other data, like first name, first initial and last name or even height or weight may only count as PIN in certain circumstances, or when combined with other information.
