I love that I can make any document filler-friendly.
What do you like best? I love that I can make any document filler-friendly. My handwriting is atrocious. I've completed applications, tax forms, and more. I love that I can move my text around. Love that I can easily insert check marks. What do you dislike? Sometimes I struggle a bit with saving my documents. I sometimes want to save one as a blank and one as a completely filled form. Recommendations to others considering the product: Yes! It will make your life easier! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It's so easy to change a document I might have goofed up! I can make the change and reprint. Done. It's been a huge timesaver for me. I can prefill certain parts of a form I have to use over and over which saves time.

The short answer is no. Nowhere in HIPAA does it come out and state that healthcare providers or other covered entities must attach a cover sheet to all of the faxes that they send. Yet, even though it's not a direct requirement, it's a best practice.
When faxing patient information, it is important to consider what type of information is transmitted through the fax machine. It's critically important that you shouldn't put patient information on a fax cover sheet to identify the individual.
Best practices dictate that cover sheets should be used when sending faxes that contain PHI. If you aren't sure if a fax contains sensitive patient information or identifiers, it's best to use a cover sheet anyway.
