Secure data communication

Protection your data is important to us. This is why we always send sensitive data (such as information about your state of health) in encrypted format. For private customers, we recommend the use of our myHelsana customer portal. For any customers who cannot or choose not to use myHelsana, our Helsana Secure Mail e-mail service and further options are available.

Given the status of current technology, sending unencrypted e-mails with sensitive content (e.g. information about your health or financial situation) has proven not to be secure. We can offer you a range of secure communication options:

myHelsana customer portal

For private customers, our myHelsana customer portal is the simplest and most convenient solution. Communications and all documents are automatically sent in encrypted format. The customer portal also offers a quick and easy way to take care of all your health insurance matters online.

Health Info Net (HIN) for doctors, pharmacies and other service providers

Healthcare service providers such as doctors, hospitals and pharmacies who belong to the Health Info Net (HIN) network can already communicate with us in encrypted format via HIN.

For companies which do not belong to HIN, we recommend the use of Helsana Secure Mail.

End-to-end e-mail encryption using S/MIME or PGP

Public key infrastructure (PKI) is used to encrypt and sign e-mails. All e-mails sent between you and Helsana (both directions) are automatically encrypted by your usual e-mail client.

External solutions

If you do not want to install your own certificates and prefer to use a centralized and automated encryption solution, various external partners and service providers offer suitable solutions.
