Identifiers your fax to Optimus Health Care needs

Protected health information and Optimus Health Care
Sending a chart or referral to Optimus Health Care means sending protected health information, which sets the bar for the channel. HIPAA's Security Rule expects protected health information to be safeguarded in transit, and the same care applies to how you send it in. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and keeps a confirmation of delivery — a safer route to Optimus Health Care than a public machine, from $12.99/month.
Faxing to Optimus Health Care — FAQ
Faxing records to Optimus Health Care is fine as long as the transport is protected. A walk-in machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality patient records deserve. For PHI, Send FAX Mail's HIPAA-eligible Professional plan ($39.99/month) supports a signed BAA and sends to Optimus Health Care over a secure connection after a 7-day free trial. A secure send protects both you and the patient the record belongs to.
Get it from the specific site or department that will receive the document rather than an old listing. Use Optimus Health Care's records-request or referral instructions, which name where the completed document should go. A quick check beats faxing PHI to a number that has moved. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.
Increasingly, Optimus Health Care steers referrals to an online portal. Where the document carries PHI, a secure channel matters whichever route you use. When fax is the right channel, an online fax gets it there without a machine. Guessing the channel is the usual reason a document has to be resent.
Not one central number. What you send to the medical records office will not reach the referral coordination team. Verify the current fax for the referral coordination team or your target site first. When in doubt, ask Optimus Health Care for the site or department by name.
