HIPAA-Compliant Fax for Connecticut Healthcare Providers
Practices and hospitals across Connecticut still move a large share of clinical paperwork by fax, from referrals and lab orders to prescription authorizations sent between providers, pharmacies, and payers. The Connecticut Department of Health and federal HIPAA rules both expect protected health information to travel over secure channels, which rules out a machine sitting in an open hallway.
Regulations & Compliance
Connecticut providers answer to federal HIPAA as well as the state health information privacy laws the Connecticut Department of Health enforces, and the CT Board of Medical Examiners sets the clinical recordkeeping standards that govern how patient information is documented and shared. Faxing remains an accepted way to meet those obligations when the transmission is encrypted and a delivery record is kept on file.
