What is CureMD's Direct Messaging service and how much does it cost?

Direct messaging through CureMD and Surescripts is a secure, HIPAA-compliant email-like service designed specifically for the healthcare industry.

It allows healthcare professionals to exchange "Protected Health Information" (PHI) directly within CureMD replacing the need for outdated methods like faxes or phone calls.

Key Features

  • Workflow Integration: Unlike standard email, it is built directly into CureMD, so they don't have to switch apps to send a message.
  • HIPAA Compliance: It uses the "Direct Standard," a technical protocol for secure health information exchange, ensuring that sensitive data is encrypted and only seen by the intended recipient.
  • Nationwide Directory: Surescripts maintains a massive directory, making it easy for a doctor in one health system to find and message a specialist or pharmacist in another.

Common Use Cases

  • Transitions of Care: A hospital can send discharge summaries and instructions directly to a patient’s primary care doctor.
  • Referrals: A doctor can send a referral note along with lab results and clinical history to a specialist.
  • Immunization Notifications: A pharmacist can automatically notify a doctor when their patient receives a vaccine (like a flu or COVID-19 shot).
  • Public Health Reporting: Providers use it to send mandatory electronic case reports to state or local public health agencies.

Cost

The cost to add Direct Messaging to CureMD is $59.00 per provider per month.
