Yes, using a HIPAA-compliant fax service is safe for transmitting highly sensitive documents. It ensures secure handling and protects against unauthorized access, effectively preventing HIPAA violations.
HIPAA faxing offers enhanced security compared to email, as emails often lack sufficient security for contents and attachments. Faxing, whether through traditional phone lines or secure online cloud systems, safeguards information from unauthorized access, making it a safer option for transmitting sensitive data.
A HIPAA-compliant fax cover sheet, necessary for both online and traditional faxing, acts as a safeguard, ensuring that any inadvertent viewers at the receiving end are aware of the fax's confidential nature. It should not contain any Protected Health Information (PHI) but must include a confidentiality notice, the total page count (cover sheet included), sender's name and fax number, recipient's name, and the subject of the fax, without disclosing any PHI.
