HIPAA Compliant Fax

As a result of patient information and privacy issues, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) establish national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health plans, and employers.

No longer can patient information be sent to an unmanned fax machine that is in an open area for anyone to pick-up and view. One way to be in compliance with HIPAA is to use Fax Mail delivery features, so that each fax is securely attached in an email and only those granted access to that email account will be allowed to view the data. The fax will be converted to PDF or TIFF file for easy document storage with other patient information. The PDF File can also be password protected upon creation and only those with the password can open the file.

If your company mandates additional security around the transmission of data, the following is also supported; Secure FTP Fax, VPN (Virtual Private Network), Exchange Transport Layer Security (TLS).

The company goes through an annual SAS70 audit to review all security measures. The SAS70 Document can be requested for internal review and acceptance.
