Are we talking end-to-end encryption, or transport encryption? For the former, PGP, and it's open-source sibling GPG are rather widely adopted in the technical community, but I'm not sure how the average medical claims handler would deal with it. Depending on how you have it setup, each person you communicate with would need to have your public key to decrypt/read email sent to them. Additionally, they would need their own key to send you encrypted mail, and again, you would need their public key to read it. However, once you decide on the mechanics, integrating it with Outlook should be simple. There are several free Outlook plugins for GPG. www.gnupg.org.
For the latter, I'd look into implementing TLS.

Off topic Question. Exchange 5.5 We have a request from our Medical College for Encryption of e-mail both inside and outside of Exchange. It's basically due to Hipa requirements. We have KMS available and I could issue tokens for internal encryption, but I don't think that is a good solution since they need external encryption as well. They are looking to use the outlook client and I was wondering what other recommendations we can give them for using PGP encryption on client side.
