HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, establishes rules for protecting individual health information. A HIPAA release and authorization allows individuals to permit healthcare providers to disclose their protected health information to designated third parties. Generally, healthcare providers cannot share this information without patient consent. HIPAA covers various aspects of an individual's health, including past, present, or future physical or mental health conditions, healthcare provision, and associated payment details. An authorization must outline the purpose for the disclosure, describe the specific health information involved, identify who can use or disclose the information, and specify the recipient.

Is a signed authorization form needed when sending medical records via fax?

A: No. You can use a copy, fax, or other electronically signed form in place of the original copy. As long as theyre signed, these copies are valid and allow you to use or disclose PHI. Note: you must provide a copy of the form to the patient.

What is the most secure way to send medical records?

Both physical and digital faxes require cover sheets if they contain PHI.

Is faxing PHI HIPAA-compliant?

While faxing is technically HIPAA-compliant, its not an efficient or convenient way to share patient information. Not to mention, faxing does not allow for easy collaboration between providers and patients.

Does HIPAA apply to faxing?

If your practice is covered by HIPAA, your HIPAA policies and procedures should include reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for protecting information that you send and receive by any kind of fax.
