A fax to Advanced Foot and Ankle that carries a diagnosis, a wound photo, or an imaging result is PHI and belongs on a secure channel.

On Send FAX Mail, HIPAA coverage is included from the $39.99/month Professional tier up, and every page to Advanced Foot and Ankle is encrypted in transit with a delivery confirmation.

Faxing to Advanced Foot and Ankle — FAQ

Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. Faxing itself is accepted for PHI; the transport is what has to be secure. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA starting at $39.99/month — safer for PHI headed to Advanced Foot and Ankle than a public machine. A secure send protects both you and the patient whose record it is.

The current line comes from Advanced Foot and Ankle directly. A larger practice may take some documents through a records office, so confirm Advanced Foot and Ankle still accepts fax for your request. A quick check beats faxing PHI to a number that has moved. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.

Send a signed release form to the staff who manage the foot-care record at Advanced Foot and Ankle. Advanced Foot and Ankle routes the request to the staff who pull the record. Put the patient identifiers and the requested dates on the authorization. Turnaround depends on the request; routine copies are handled in the order received.

Often just one office line, though a busier practice may split records and the DME desk onto separate lines. Even so, a referral, an imaging report, and a records request may go to different staff on that one line. Check with Advanced Foot and Ankle so the fax reaches the right person. When in doubt, ask Advanced Foot and Ankle for the fax by the name of the desk.
