HIPAA-Compliant Fax for District of Columbia Healthcare Providers
Practices and hospitals across the District fax referrals, lab orders, and prescription authorizations to labs, pharmacies, and payers every day, and members of the District of Columbia Hospital Association and the DC Medical Association depend on those exchanges working reliably. Protected health information has to stay encrypted under HIPAA and the District's own privacy rules, which the District of Columbia Department of Health enforces.
Regulations & Compliance
Providers in the District answer to federal HIPAA rules plus the District's health information privacy laws enforced by the District of Columbia Department of Health, with the DC Board of Medical Examiners setting clinical recordkeeping standards. Faxes carrying patient information must travel encrypted and remain documented. A Business Associate Agreement covers covered entities so PHI is handled under contract.
