Giving a freelancer a work e-mail

[9de917ce]

I am in the medical field and therefore need to abide by HIPPA. This means that communication needs to be secure as confidential information is shared. Once I hire a Freelancer, can I give them a work e-mail to use that is from my company (with my domain name)?

Yes, I believe so.  I work for attorneys and at times, they have given me an email due to privilege.

Same here. I have email accounts with a number of ongoing clients, including one because I work with a medical researcher and have to abide by HIPAA. It shouldn't matter what credentials your client gives you as long as you get paid on UW.
