Telehealth Safety and Privacy: What You Need to Know
Meta Description: Learn how FormKind Health protects your health information during telehealth visits, ensuring secure, confidential care for hormone therapy, PrEP, and urgent care.
Introduction
Telehealth is transforming the way patients access healthcare, offering convenience, privacy, and accessibility. Yet, many people worry about the safety of sharing personal health information online. At FormKind Health, protecting your privacy is a top priority. We use HIPAA-compliant technology to ensure your health data remains secure during virtual visits, whether for gender-affirming hormone therapy, hormone replacement therapy, PrEP, or urgent care.
HIPAA-Compliant Telehealth Platforms
All FormKind Health telehealth services are provided through encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platforms. This means:
Video consultations are secure and cannot be intercepted.
Messaging and patient portals are encrypted end-to-end.
Lab orders and prescription transmissions to partner pharmacies, like Olympia Pharmacy, are protected.
By following federal privacy standards, we ensure that your health information stays confidential at every step.
Keeping Your Information Private at Home
While we protect your information digitally, patients can take simple steps to maintain privacy at home:
Choose a quiet, private space for your telehealth appointment.
Use secure Wi-Fi networks instead of public hotspots.
Avoid sharing login credentials or letting others access your account.
These precautions help maximize the privacy and security of your healthcare interactions.

Seek care discreetly
Avoid stigma or judgment
Maintain confidentiality in sensitive health matters
