Why Yuma Vet Center keeps its records apart from the VA chart

Because these records touch sensitive experiences, the office is careful about what leaves and where it goes. Include the veteran's identifiers and a callback number so staff can confirm the request.
Keeping records to Yuma Vet Center HIPAA-compliant
A veteran's VA records are protected health information, so how you fax them to Yuma Vet Center matters. Some VA records — drug and alcohol treatment, HIV, or sickle-cell — carry extra confidentiality under 38 U.S.C. 7332. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so PHI headed to Yuma Vet Center travels over a compliant channel instead of a fax machine in a shared office.
Faxing to Yuma Vet Center — FAQ
Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. The risk is not the fax itself but an unsecured tool, so a free app or a public machine will not do. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption from $39.99/month for faxes to Yuma Vet Center. A secure send protects both you and the veteran whose records these are.
Get it from the office that will receive the document rather than an old listing. Call Yuma Vet Center and confirm the fax by phone, since Vet Centers keep separate lines by office. Verifying the office and the line up front is the honest shortcut. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.
Release begins with a signed authorization to the records staff who protect the file. Ask Yuma Vet Center where the signed authorization should go. Records tied to military sexual trauma or substance-use counseling carry extra protections. Staff confirm the request with the veteran before anything confidential leaves Yuma Vet Center.
No. Yuma Vet Center routes faxes to separate office lines, so the counseling records office and the intake and referral office do not share a number. The line for the counseling records office is separate from the one for intake. Identify the destination before sending so nothing is misrouted. When in doubt, ask Yuma Vet Center for the office by name.
