FAQ
Can you fax Protected Health Information(PHI)? Yes, you can fax PHI, but you need to implement strict safeguards to protect the patient information. Consider using encrypted fax services, double-check the number you're sending to, and always use a fax cover sheet.
Some of the top items that need to be included in a HIPAA fax cover sheet are: A confidentiality statement: This statement explains that the information being faxed is confidential and should not be read by anyone other than the intended party.
The confidentiality notice should clearly state that the fax may contain information protected by law and should therefore only be viewed by the intended recipients listed on the cover page. It is usually not necessary to specify the specific law in question (e.g. HIPAA).
One of the key requirements of HIPAA-compliant fax services is the inclusion of a HIPAA fax cover sheet (sometimes referred to as a Privacy Act cover sheet). This document is designed to protect secure documents by including, among other things, a disclaimer explaining that the fax contains PHI.
The information is intended only for the use of the individual(s) or entity named above. If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any disclosure, copying, distribution, or taking of any action in reliance on the contents of this facsimile information is strictly prohibited.
Most importantly, HIPAA compliant cover sheet disclaimers indicate the information in the fax is PHI for viewing and use only by authorized entities. By putting this disclaimer on the sheet, senders show they put forth the required effort to protect PHI.
Although the content of a narrative on a fax cover sheet is optional, it does help to use a few buzz words, and always make it easy for someone to contact you if they received the fax incorrectly. First of all, do not use the patient's name or other PHI in the subject line on the fax cover sheet.
When sending a fax, include a cover sheet indicating the date and time sent; the recipient's name and fax number; and the sender's name, organization and phone number. The fax cover sheet should NEVER include a patient's name or any other PHI. 2. Include a privacy statement in the fax cover sheet.
Electronic Faxing (eFax) You still use your recipient's fax number, but with efax, you can send from any internet-enabled device: desktops, laptops, tablets, or smartphones. If securely configured with encrypted transmission, electronic faxing can be HIPAA compliant.
