Amber, the larger, national MTSOs (like Webmedx, etc. [although they might be wholly employee-based now]) companies that hire ICs have their own platform that they use, including file encryption. You login to their platform, download your work, and then log back in to send it back to them. That way the files are secure coming and going.
Smaller MTSO companies might not have something like this in place, so using encryption software might be a way to go.
That would be something to discuss with any MT company you are considering - how do they comply with HIPPA with regards to file transfer. I would be pretty leery of a company that only used email w/o encryption to transfer files.
