Default Hippa

Melody, you know those HIPPA forms you sign every time you go to a new doctor? They forbid doctors communicating iwth patients by email. They are allowed to fax, but not email. It's questionable whether even emailing about appointments is allowable.

A fax can be private. Email is NEVER private.

That's why the envelope.
