Mheelion.com's HIPAA-friendly Designs For Pharmacy Websites

For Immediate Release

Mheelion.com Releases New Guidance For Pharmacy Partners On Achieving HIPAA Compliance With Custom Webpage Designs

September 3, 2025

NEW YORK CITY – Mheelion.com today announced that its webpage design service for pharmacies is built with features and protocols designed to facilitate compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This advisory is intended to inform pharmacy owners, operators, and compliance officers that Mheelion can be a partner in building a secure online presence, specifically when designing pharmacy business pages on its platform.

Commitment to data security

Mheelion understands that patient data security is paramount for pharmacies. While HIPAA compliance is ultimately a joint responsibility between a covered entity and its business associates, Mheelion is committed to providing a secure foundation for any pharmacy handling Protected Health Information (PHI). Our design service incorporates critical security features to safeguard sensitive data, including:

  • Secure data transmission: All webpage designs use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, ensuring data is encrypted while in transit between the patient's browser and the web server. This is essential for any interaction where PHI may be exchanged, such as through web forms or patient portals.

  • Encrypted form data: For our medication delivery and patient intake forms, data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We ensure that any PHI collected through these forms is handled in a secure manner, with strict access controls.

  • Business Associate Agreement (BAA) ready: As a service provider that may handle PHI, Mheelion is prepared to sign a Business Associate Agreement with our pharmacy partners. This legally binding document formalizes our commitment to adhering to HIPAA's security rules.

  • Dedicated, secure hosting: We can provide hosting environments built on secure, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. This includes robust physical and technical safeguards to protect servers and the data they store.

  • Audit-ready logs: Our systems maintain comprehensive audit trails of access to PHI, which is essential for reporting and compliance checks.

Shared Responsibilities For Compliance

While Mheelion provides a HIPAA-compliant-ready platform, the pharmacy remains responsible for certain administrative and operational safeguards:

  • Internal policies: The pharmacy must have its own internal HIPAA policies and procedures in place, including staff training on how to handle and protect PHI.

  • Form content: The pharmacy is responsible for configuring forms to collect only the minimum necessary information and for obtaining patient consent when required.

  • Access controls: The pharmacy must manage user access and permissions to limit who can view or modify PHI.

  • Privacy policy: The pharmacy must post a clear and comprehensive Notice of Privacy Practices on its website.
