Amazingly this is one of the most frequent questions we get asked. The skepticism about how we can provide such a valuable service for free especially in a medical environment is justified because health care providers are used to paying premium prices for services. When a free service like MedTunnel comes along that provides such a great service for free, there is bound to be a feeling of “too good to be true.” Well, we wanted to state clearly for all the skeptics that MedTunnel is a great service for health care and it is absolutely free.
Learn MoreMany people falsely believe that traditional email and texting of private health information is HIPAA compliant. This is simply not true and anyone who is currently using these methods is putting their organization at risk.
HIPAA regulations require that all private health information (PHI) remain private and be only accessible by authorized personnel. This means that when transmitting PHI two things have to be ensured.
Learn MoreThe main purpose of MedTunnel is to provide a free, secure, and HIPAA compliant messaging service for transmitting private health information (PHI) through the Internet. The core architecture of our product was designed to meet HIPAA and security guidelines. MedTunnel provides a secure conduit through the Internet for PHI transmission. In fact, our security protocol is such that no one at MedTunnel, even at the CEO level can access PHI even if they wanted to.

All medical practices have a website, but none have their own custom app in the app store. The vast majority of the adult US population has a smart phone and are getting more and more of their information using mobile devices, but getting a custom mobile app built and maintained is very expensive. MedTunnel has already built the hipaa-compliant infrastructure needed for building custom medical apps. We’ve decided to leverage this backbone and build custom mobile apps for medical practices that are very inexpensive and highly functional. This means that your practice can have it’s own app in both the Apple app store for iOS devices and Google play store for android devices complete with your own icon.
