MEDePass

MEDePass was a healthcare information technology company that specialized in digital identity, authentication, and security for medical professionals. Founded in 1997, the company provided digital certificates to physicians and clinicians to enable secure, HIPAA-compliant electronic exchange of confidential health information. Its platform, developed in partnership with state medical associations like the California Medical Association, authenticated a physician's identity and professional license status. The company's services were used for clinical health information exchanges with organizations such as the Social Security Administration and EDS. MEDePass operated as a start-up until approximately 2006.
