Healthcare Faxing

Healthcare fax solutions for everyday document exchange

HIPAA and PHIPA support

Use an eligible account and the required agreements and settings to support your healthcare fax workflow. HIPAA-protected faxing requires Enterprise and a signed BAA.

AI text and extraction

Turn medical faxes into searchable text and structured fields with AI Text Transcript and AI Data Extraction. Review the results before using them in your workflow.

Always-on fax receiving

Receive healthcare faxes while your team is offline. Eligible HIPAA/PHIPA accounts can opt into email attachments after admin consent and individual activation, with a supported mailbox.

Print documents to fax

Use Print to Fax on Windows or macOS to send documents from applications that support printing. This workflow is separate from a native EHR connector.

Plan for your fax usage

Choose Enterprise for HIPAA-protected faxing, then assess expected sending and receiving volume. Review page allowances, additional numbers, and usage costs before rolling out to your team.

Manage your fax team

Manage staff access, permissions, fax numbers, and activity in one place. Give team members individual access and organize shared fax numbers around your departments and workflows.

How healthcare faxing fits your team’s workflow

Set up access before exchanging patient information, then check each transmission and follow up with the receiving team when needed.

1. Prepare your account

Choose Enterprise, enable Advanced Security Controls, and sign a BAA before handling PHI. Check your organization’s policies for the documents you will exchange.

2. Set up team access

Invite staff with individual logins and assign fax numbers and permissions. Decide who will review incoming referrals, lab reports, and records.

3. Exchange your documents

Check the recipient’s fax number, prepare the required documents, and send through your approved workflow. Receive incoming faxes in the account assigned to your team.

4. Check and follow up

Review the fax status and any transmission errors. Confirm receipt or processing with the recipient when needed; a successful transmission does not establish clinical review or acceptance.

Compliance

Programmable API

Build a fax workflow with the Fax.Plus API

Use the Fax.Plus API to build a custom sending and receiving workflow. Connecting an EHR or another application requires technical assessment, development, and the appropriate access. Print to Fax is a separate workflow, and API access does not establish native EHR compatibility. With Advanced Security Controls enabled, the API remains available and Zapier is disabled. Review each integration’s compatibility before including it in a HIPAA-protected workflow.

FAQs

How quickly can I get set up?

arrow navbar

Set up your account, invite your team, and configure access before exchanging patient information. For HIPAA-protected faxing, complete the Enterprise, Advanced Security Controls, and BAA requirements first. Transferring an existing number is a separate process with timing that depends on the number and provider.

Which Fax.Plus plan do healthcare teams need?

arrow navbar

Healthcare teams handling HIPAA-protected information need Enterprise, Advanced Security Controls enabled, and a signed BAA. Free, Basic, Premium, and Business plans do not qualify for HIPAA-protected faxing. Assess your expected fax volume, number requirements, and account settings before choosing your setup.

Can I keep my existing healthcare fax number?

arrow navbar

You can request to port an eligible existing fax number to Fax.Plus. Availability and timing depend on the number and current provider. Keep your current service active while the transfer is being arranged, and confirm the transition steps before cancelling it.

Is Fax.Plus HIPAA compliant?

arrow navbar

Fax.Plus supports HIPAA-protected faxing on Enterprise when Advanced Security Controls are enabled and a BAA is signed before handling PHI. These requirements do not replace your organization’s responsibilities for staff access, recipient verification, document handling, and other applicable policies.

How does Fax.Plus protect stored faxes?

arrow navbar

Stored fax documents are encrypted at rest using AES-256. Team accounts provide individual access and administrative controls to help manage who can use the service. Configure permissions and the required compliance settings for your organization before handling protected information.

Can healthcare staff receive fax attachments by email?

arrow navbar

Eligible HIPAA/PHIPA accounts can enable email attachments after owner or admin consent and individual user activation. Each receiving mail server must support TLS 1.2 or above. If the TLS requirement is not met, no email is sent and the fax remains in the Fax.Plus archive. Your organization remains responsible for PHI in its mailbox after delivery.

Can I use Fax.Plus with my EHR?

arrow navbar

Print to Fax can send documents from applications that support printing on Windows or macOS. A custom API connection is a separate development project that depends on your EHR’s interfaces and access. Neither workflow establishes that a native connector is available for your EHR. Review technical requirements before committing to an integration.

How can I check whether a healthcare fax was sent?

arrow navbar

Check the fax’s transmission status and any reported errors in Fax.Plus. A successful transmission confirms delivery to the receiving fax endpoint; it does not confirm that a person read the document, matched it to a patient record, or accepted it. Follow up with the recipient when your workflow requires that confirmation.
