What is HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) makes it mandatory for health care providers and organizations to improve the efficiency of electronic transactions, while ensuring the security and confidentiality of information.

HIPAA has changed the way healthcare organizations send, receive, and store confidential information. Organizations must implement security and privacy measures that protect the confidentiality and integrity of "individually identifiable health information" being transmitted electronically. Thus, HIPAA regulations affect the security measures required when faxing medical data between healthcare providers, patients, and other entities. This is a key factor in choosing a HIPAA fax solution in the health care industry.

Faxing Security Measures

Our HIPAA Fax Solution provides a range of security features to help organizations comply with HIPAA regulations:

  • Audit trail - our online fax service provides a full audit trail of faxes sent and received through our servers. The audit trail can be viewed online, and can also be tracked using mail confirmations sent to the sender of a fax.
  • Encryption - faxed messages can be delivered in encrypted formats of SSL, so that so that patient-identifying information can be delivered securely.
  • Automatic fax removal - messages containing sensitive content can be automatically deleted from our servers upon delivery. This ensures that no person, including our customer service staff, can view patient-identifying information.
  • User authentication - our system authenticates users and operators of the online fax system with a username and password, enabling you to enforce the appropriate access rights.
