Information Security: Medfusion, Inc. provides the technical information security services for your physician's website. When you submit your information to your physician's website, that information is converted to a random code. This is called encryption. When the information arrives at its destination, the data is decoded and stored on a secure server.
There are two ways of knowing you are connected to a secure server.

1. A little closed padlock or unbroken key will appear on the bottom of your browser's window when you access a secure page.
2. The "http" at the beginning of the URL will change to "https" when you access secure pages.

Other ways we provide Internet security:

• Email correspondence and notifications from Medfusion will not contain any medical information or indication of medical treatment.
• Our patients and physicians communicate health information through a secure server only. To consult with your physician about health matters, patients must register on their physician's website and communicate through our secure server. When your physician needs to correspond with you, an email will be sent notifying you to logon to your physician's website and read the communication. The notification email contains no health information or any indication of your interaction with your physician.
