Can you fax protected health information?
When a covered entity is permitted by the HIPAA medical privacy rule to make a disclosure of protected health information (PHI), the covered entity can make the communication orally or in writing, by phone, fax, email, or otherwise. A laboratory may fax a patient's medical test results to a physician.
What does HIPAA say about faxing patient information?
Q: HIPAA does not address faxing patient information specifically, but, like any form of health information, it is protected under the privacy rule. Health care professionals need to understand that faxed patient information can easily fall into the wrong hands, which would be a violation of privacy.

Is faxing HIPAA compliant?
Faxing is a HIPAA-compliant way of sending and receiving sensitive patient information and in legal applications faxes can be a more efficient form of written communication because of the trouble and accuracy issues involved with gathering multiple email addresses. The 'S' in HTTPS stands for 'secure.
What confidentiality precautions should be taken when sending a fax?
Steps to safer faxing: Always use a cover letter. To prevent numbers from being misfiled, use saved speed-dial numbers for recipients you fax frequently. Check those numbers regularly. For any new recipient, verify the number with a test email before sending PHI.
Does talk about a patient violate HIPAA?
Chatting about patients is an occupational hazard in nursing. While you won't violate HIPAA laws by discussing a patient with another member of their care team, you might if you gossip about or discuss their case with uninvolved coworkers, even if they work in the same area.
Can PHI be sent by fax?
Yes. The Privacy Rule allows covered health care providers to share protected health information for treatment purposes without patient authorization, as long as they use reasonable safeguards when doing so. These treatment communications may occur orally or in writing, by phone, fax, e-mail, or otherwise.

The interface of PDFfiller is simple and intuitive. I think that most people can sign up and start using PDFfiller without having to spend much time figuring things out. Once we load a PDF into the system, there are straightforward menu items and labels that help to fill out virtually any form from start to finish. I can save to PDF format with my filled-in information or print right from the PDFfiller website.
What do you dislike?
Anytime I post my information online, I get apprehensive about how my data is being used. Though I'm sure PDFfiller probably takes measures to keep our uploaded and saved documents secure, I just never know with all the malware and server attacks that often occur, in general.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Some people probably don't want to hassle with putting their documents through a digitized system, but I think once you upload one form to PDFfiller, you'll see how intuitive the entire process and may possibly not print out documents to fill them out anymore.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
My handwriting is basically terrible and I often get strains when writing since I typically haven't written by hand much over the past several years. PDFfiller lets me fill out PDF documents more effortlessly and lets me align text and other objects with great precision.
