FAQ
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.
A HIPAA fax cover sheet disclaimer is a message addressed to the fax recipient, that states that the faxed information is confidential. The disclaimer also should state that the transmission may contain protected health information.
A fax cover sheet typically has basic contact information: who the fax is going to, who the fax is from, the subject matter, how many pages are included, company name (address is optional), a telephone number, and a check box to mark whether it's urgent or needs a reply.
Steps to safer faxing: Always use a cover letter. To prevent numbers from being mis-dialed, use saved speed-dial numbers for recipients you fax frequently. For any new recipient, verify the number with a test email before sending PHI. Have policies in place for what to do if a fax is sent to the wrong number.
A HIPAA compliant fax cover sheet should include sender and recipient details, date and time, a confidentiality statement, privacy notice, subject, page count, and optional disclaimers.
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.
There is no official HIPAA cover sheet but the cover sheet should contain the following information to be considered HIPAA compliant: Date and Time Fax sent. Receiver name and fax # Sender name, organization, and phone #
It is highly recommended that the word “confidential” appear prominently (in large type) on the cover page. 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.
The best practice for filling out a fax cover sheet includes, complete sender and recipient information, detailed fax information, confidentiality notice, clear and concise communication, and a consistent format.
To ensure HIPAA compliance, you will need a cloud fax service that will sign Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to ensure proper handling of all information to prevent access by unauthorized parties. This agreement is a requirement perHITECH and must be a feature of any online fax service you choose.
