FAQ
FAQ
What is the cost of Medi-Messaging?
Please contact us for pricing information.
Why should I use Medi-Messaging versus other secure messaging platforms?
We believe that our relationship with Medi-Com Consulting Inc. gives us a distinct advantage in providing not only secure messaging, but secure billing services as well as it allows our doctors to submit same-day WCB claims. Our doctors are also better able to safely communicate to billing agents already handling their billing which is a huge advantage to both parties involved.
Besides mitigating the risk of a privacy breach, what other benefits does using Medi-Messaging give me?
Users also are able to achieve a Return-On-Investment by billing E-consultations on our secure electronic platform, as well as being able to submit WCB claims in the allotted premium time frame.
Are there any discounts offered for bundling services?
Of course! If a doctor chooses to bundle their services and sign up for multiple monthly subscription services, they will be offered a discount for doing so!
What is the discount for signing up for multiple monthly subscription services?
Our goal is to establish and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship between our doctors and our company. As such, if a doctor signs up for both services, they will be given a discount for bundling services. If you are interested in both services please contact our system administrator for more information.

Using Medi-Messaging
How do I capture a conversation and include or attach patient information?
Doctors can capture their conversations by using the “Snippet Tool” on PCs, taking a screen shot by hitting “Command-Shift-4” on a Mac, or by hitting the “lock button-home button” simultaneously on an Iphone. After a photo of the conversation is captured, users can attach this photo as a PDF, JPEG, etc., to the EMRs system in question so that they can bill the e-consult or referral in question.

Common Questions
How to edit your profile and update your information such as; email address and phone number?
On the top of your page, place your curser over, “welcome ”. A drop down menu appears that will give you the option to “edit profile”. Click, “edit profile” and change any information you wish to update.
What is the difference between a Messaging Platform and an email-like platform?
On a messaging platform messages are more like conversations between users that all occur on one secure internal server. This helps ensure that all of your conversations are always secure largely because they never leave our proprietary encrypted system. In an email-like platform, messages can be sent to users on their own secure internal server as well as onto other outside servers. This makes it easier to reach users outside of their subscription service, but leaves them more prone to messages being compromised at the same time. We at Medi-Messaging believe that the best and only real way to send conversations to users is in a messaging platform. This ensures that conversations always remain secured by our strict encryption algorithms and security protocols.
How to send a secure message to a colleague not yet using Medi-Messaging?
To invite a colleague not yet using Medi-Messaging, click on “invite colleagues” icon at the top of your page. Once you click on the icon, enter the name, and email address of the person you are inviting to Medi-Messaging. An email with a link will be sent to the colleague you invited. Once your colleague registers for a free trial, he or she will be able to read your secure message. Users can also type in the colleague’s name and email address in the “Recipient” field if they are not already in our system. Here, an email with a link will be sent to the invited doctor. The invited doctor can then click on the link and register for our secure messaging service on a trial basis. Once registered, doctors can then read the message that was sent to them.
I forgot my password, how do I reset it?
If you forgot your password, click on the “forgot password” link under the normal login section. An email will be sent to you, with a link to secret questions/answers you provided when you first registered with Medi-Messaging.
