How do they avoid HIPAA violations in that case? Or is that not at issue somehow?

- Clubber 9y agoHIPAA only applies to medical information. I didn't see any mention of that, so I'm assuming it doesn't apply here. Wish it did.
- maxerickson 9y agoI have no idea. I know that my providers avoid sending covered information to my email, they send me a notification to log into their messaging system.
- 0xffff2 9y agoWhy would HIPAA apply to Yahoo?
- astura 9y agoUm... Yahoo has nothing to do with HIPAA since they don't deal with medical information at all. You don't email medical records or information in the first place, you "secure message" them through an encrypted channel. An example of such a service is RelayHealth.
