Question 1

Can a clinic referring into the Cleveland Clinic use this for PHI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transmission is protected with TLS and stored documents are encrypted with AES-256, which meets the safeguards HIPAA expects for faxing protected health information. We sign a Business Associate Agreement with covered entities and business associates in Ohio before any PHI moves through the account.

Question 2

Which fax workflows come up most for Ohio practices?

Accepted Answer

Physician referrals, lab and imaging orders, prescription and prior authorization requests, and signed patient consent forms make up most of the traffic. Many of these are still required by fax because the receiving lab, pharmacy, or payer wants a confirmed delivery record on file.

Question 3

Do HIPAA-tier accounts handle inbound faxes differently?

Accepted Answer

On the Business plan, which is built for HIPAA, inbound fax PDFs are never attached to email. Instead you get a notification and download the document inside your authenticated dashboard session, which keeps PHI out of your inbox.

Question 4

What's the cost for a medical office, and which plan covers HIPAA?

Accepted Answer

Plans begin at $12.99 a month for a solo provider, and the HIPAA-eligible Business plan is $54.99 a month. Pricing is flat per tier; a practice that sends past its monthly page allowance moves up to the next plan rather than absorbing extra per-page costs, and choosing your fax number costs nothing extra. A 7-day free trial lets a clinic test referral sends before committing.
