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.

What do you like best?
It is a simple process to upload, fill out typed forms, e-sign, and save/print externally.
What do you dislike?
I have not been able to drag and drop from outlook '07. The additional step of saving a document locally and then uploading seems unnecessary.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a very intuitive product that can one can pick up and become proficient with little training or experience.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I have been able to keep from printing countless documents that only need a quick signature only to be scanned in again and emailed out. There is a huge time saving as well being able to cut out those middle steps.

Great Value! A Must Have! PDF Filler is one software that's worth so much more than what I paid for. I work in 3 different industries- Staffing, Construction and Real Estate and this software has become a necessity in everyday document preparation. It saves so much time and money. No need to subscribe to expensive Adobe editing software. Every time I show how this software works to friends and colleagues, they are amazed. I wish I had known about PDF Filler long time ago. Thank you! Ease of use and integration with Sign Now. The dashboard could use a bit more organization.

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.
As we've demonstrated in this post, password-protected PDF documents are not a sign of HIPAA compliance. First, we see that HHS has already set precedent that using passwords, but not encryption, is a HIPAA fine in waiting.
Zip files can be password-protected, but the standard Zip encryption scheme is extremely weak. To gain the actual benefits of encryption, you should use AES-256 encryption. 7z archives support this natively, but you can also encrypt Zip files with AES-256 encryption.
Click the Encrypt toggle in the Actions pane. If you have not already done so, click the Options button that now displays in the Actions' pane to set the encryption level. Add files to your new Zip file. Enter a password when the Encrypt dialog displays. Save the Zip file.
In layman's terms, encryption means scrambling data (plain text) according to an algorithm, so that can be read only by who has a key (cipher text). Password protection means you protect a file or something else with a password, so you can't open it, if you don't know the password.
