Related FAQs Around HIPAA Compliant Fax
See All FAQsYes, eFax is completely safe and fully complies with HIPAA regulations.
HIPAA allows for data-sharing, but only between certain stakeholders. Any wrong step — like using a non-secure file-sharing platform — can make data available to unintended recipients and even bad actors. And unfortunately, many typical methods companies use to share information are not as safe as they seem. This is especially true as hackers continually improve their tactics.
Healthcare organizations need a tamper-proof way to share sensitive patient information — and eFax provides just that.
eFax Protect’s HIPAA compliant fax solution uses military-grade encryption to ensure no one can intercept the data while in transit. It doesn’t matter if your team faxes from their desktop, mobile device or laptop — the AES 256-bit encryption protects the information to help your organization remain HIPAA compliant.
Technically, traditional machine faxing can be HIPAA-compliant because it offers point-to-point data protection. The issue may arise when the fax prints out at the recipient’s machine, though. Healthcare organizations must ensure they are sending the document to the right recipient and include a cover letter explaining who the information is for in case it ends up in the wrong hands.
However, even with these precautions, traditional faxing isn’t foolproof. Documents can easily end up with the wrong people, especially if they’re left forgotten at fax machines. And if the wrong person accesses the information, the file-sharing process is no longer HIPAA-compliant.
A better solution is eFax. It offers consistently safe and HIPAA-compliant file-sharing processes, thanks to the AES 256-bit encryption. You no longer have to worry about whether your faxes are going to the right place or if someone has accidentally intercepted them. By using eFax, you know exactly where your information is going — and that the data is completely protected in transit.
Email itself is not HIPAA-compliant. When you send a standard email, it travels in plain text from your mail server to your recipient’s. That means anyone can intercept the email during transit, including when it’s left unread in the recipient’s inbox.
However, fax via email can be HIPAA-compliant if you use a service like eFax.
eFax Protect employs military-grade encryption to ensure your documents have the ultimate protection throughout transit. Instead of traveling in plain text, the information on the emailed fax gets jumbled until the recipient opens the email. That means anyone who tries to hack or intercept the email will only see an incomprehensible set of characters — one that’s almost impossible to decrypt.
