Sending Clinical Information to Another Provider

This section tells you how to send clinical health information via direct message to providers to whom you refer a patient.

Your practice must establish a security certificate before you will be able to exchange direct messages with a provider outside of your practice. For more information, go to Registering Your Practice and Verifying Your Identity.

You may send a direct message to a provider with a direct messaging address. The provider’s direct messaging address must be supported by a DirectTrust accredited agent. For example, the OfficeMate provider portal is supported by MaxMD. For a list of DirectTrust accredited agents, go to http://www.directtrust.org/accreditation-status.
