Address Method - DirectTrust Activation User Agreement

The following user agreement is presented at the start of the activation process and is also available for display by clicking the DirectTrust User Agreement link after accepting.

Updox, LLC. serves as the Health Information Services Provider (HISP) for your practice to enable sending and receiving of Direct messages. Use of this Direct messaging service is governed by the terms and conditions of this agreement.

Security is the key component that distinguishes Direct messaging from regular email.  Identity verification is a part of the security framework to ensure that senders and receivers are “who they say they are”.  As such, before a user is permitted to participate in Direct exchange their identity must be verified.

Your EHR vendor is using address-level security certificates to ensure the utmost privacy and security. This type of certificate requires that every person receiving a Direct address must complete the DirectTrust Activation process.  By accepting this agreement:

• You acknowledge that you are compliant with HIPAA privacy and security regulations.

• You agree to have your identity verified by an external party and to have your verbal attestation recorded.

If you agree to these terms, click Accept.

If you do not agree to these terms, click Decline to exit the process and acknowledge that you will not be permitted to participate in Direct messaging with other users in the DirectTrust network.
