AMEDx maintains the confidentiality of all patient information in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). All data transmission is encrypted and access to patient information is tightly restricted. All access to patient data is tracked.

While in the AMEDx system, only registered physicians are allowed to view reports and interpretations on their own patients. National experts will review cases if requested by the local physician. The AMEDx professional services review panel will occasionally review cases submitted for interpretation by local experts for quality purposes.

AMEDx requires a valid Medical License Number and proof of hospital privileges to be enrolled in the service. Additionally, the physician must complete: a MEDxpertise^® Membership Application, agree to all Terms and Conditions, and complete a HIPAA business associate agreement in compliance with regulation. If you decide to become a local interpreter for your institution, one more agreement, the DxAuthor^® Software license agreement, must also be completed.

Any information you receive from an AMEDx National Expert is believed to be reliable. However, like any other consultation, it can only be provided on a best efforts basis and is not guaranteed. The MEDxpertise^® system facilitates physician-to-physician consultation, and is not liable for any deficiencies in the accuracy, completeness, availability or timeliness of information provided by the diagnostic interpreter. Local interpreters bear full responsible for interpretations they generate using the DxAuthor^® software.

AMEDx serves as an intermediary for clinical laboratory test interpretations on a consultation basis initiated by a licensed physician or pathologist. AMEDx does not practice medicine, and does not engage in any direct patient interaction. AMEDx provides an exchange of information only.

There is a simple button in the MEDxpertise^® Software to send a case to the national experts for review and consultation.

A standing order or check box where ordering physicians can request the interpretive report will need to be added to your requisition system.
