Question 1

Can a Nebraska practice use online fax and stay HIPAA-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send FAX Mail meets federal HIPAA requirements alongside the state privacy standards the Nebraska Department of Health enforces, and a signed Business Associate Agreement is available to covered entities. Transmission runs over TLS and stored faxes are encrypted with AES-256.

Question 2

Which documents do Nebraska providers fax most?

Accepted Answer

The bulk of it is physician referrals, lab and imaging orders, prescription and prior-authorization requests, and signed patient consent forms. Practices coordinating with the Nebraska Medical Association and area hospitals keep using fax for these because the workflow leaves a documented delivery trail that other channels often don't.

Question 3

Do we need to buy a fax machine to receive lab results?

Accepted Answer

No. Send FAX Mail receives inbound faxes electronically and routes them to your account, so labs and pharmacies can keep sending to a single number while your staff reads results on screen. That removes the analog line and the toner without changing how the senders reach you.

Question 4

What does it cost for a Nebraska medical office?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at $12.99 per month and choosing your fax number is free. Each tier carries its own monthly page allowance, and a practice that consistently runs past one simply moves up a plan rather than paying per-page fees. The Business plan at $54.99 per month is the HIPAA tier with a BAA, which is the right fit for a clinic or health system handling protected health information regularly.
