Yes — under the FTC's Contact Lens Rule and Eyeglass Rule, Alaska Vision Center releases your prescription and can fax it to the seller you choose.

An eye care office runs on appointments, so an incoming fax is received during posted hours, while routine records paperwork moves during office hours. The posted hours cover weekdays and sometimes a Saturday clinic. Time-sensitive findings reach the clinical staff while the office is open; routine paperwork waits for office hours. Expect same-day handling for a finding sent while the office is open.

Send FAX Mail's Business plan at $79.99/month is HIPAA-compliant and suited to patient records sent to Alaska Vision Center.
