HIPAA, 38 U.S.C. 7332, and your fax to Fairbanks Vet Center
A fax to Fairbanks Vet Center that carries a veteran's records or a signed release is PHI and belongs on a secure channel.

It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. HIPAA turns on using a compliant, encrypted service rather than a public one.

Ask the specific Fairbanks Vet Center office for its working fax before you send. Reach the specific Fairbanks Vet Center office by phone and confirm the fax it uses today. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong queue. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.
File a signed authorization with the counseling records office. Fairbanks Vet Center will tell you where to fax the completed authorization. Because the file is confidential, the authorization must specify what may be disclosed and to whom. Once verified, Fairbanks Vet Center releases the records to the veteran or whoever the veteran designated.
No. Fairbanks Vet Center routes faxes to separate office lines, so the counseling records office and the intake and referral office do not share a number. Each office — counseling records, intake, referrals — answers a different fax. Ask for the office you actually need to get the right number. Keep the confirmed number with the veteran's file so you are not searching next time.
