We take your privacy and the security of your personal health information very seriously.

Although our services are not insurance, they are subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that was passed by Congress in 1996.  In order to maintain HIPAA compliance your personal health information (PHI) is data encrypted to protect your personal health information in accordance with HIPAA regulations.

Our Electronic Health Record system is a powerful, HIPAA compliant feature that centralizes and simplifies your health care management. Before consulting with a physician, we require that our members complete a comprehensive medical history profile. The information submitted to each profile is secure and confidential, and is automatically filed as a permanent part of the member’s electronic health record and is available to be updated by the member at any time.

Prior to every diagnostic medical consultation, the automated system will ask the member if there are any changes or updates to the medical history that is on file. The detailed medical history is similar to the information an individual provides during his or her office visit to a primary care physician, including past medical history, previously diagnosed conditions, current medications, and allergies.

The consulting physician reviews the medical history that is provided by the member, and any other relevant information stored in the member’s HIPAA-compliant electronic health record.

Each and every one of your consultations, along with the doctor’s notes and follow up discussions with you, will be recorded and saved to your e-health record online in your Health Dashboard.  You can share your record with your primary care physician, ensuring proper documentation, transferability, and continuity of care. Each time you log in, you’ll have complete access to detailed records of every physician encounter you’ve ever had with WhatsUpDocConnect.com.

Very simple!  You can call by regular (landline) telephone, cell phone, smart phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

All desktop and laptops are supported for video calls including Apple/Mac/Windows desktop computers and laptops.

Just because it’s online, doesn’t mean it’s complicated or tech-y. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. 

Some of our Members say ‘It’s easier than placing an order on Amazon, and definitely easier than navigating online movie services like Netflix and Prime.” With a few clicks…  you’re getting your questions answered by a US doctor licensed in your state twenty four hours a day three hundred sixty five days a year.
