Clinics, labs and pharmacies in Louisiana still exchange referrals, records requests and prior authorizations by fax. If your office handles protected health information, HIPAA applies wherever you are in the US. FaxToFax stores faxes encrypted, records every view and download in an audit log, and deletes faxes on the schedule you set. A Business Associate Agreement is available on Business plans.

Law offices fax notices, signed documents and records requests when they need a sender, a time and a receipt. Lawyers in Louisiana must protect client confidences under the state’s rules of professional conduct. FaxToFax puts your letterhead on cover pages, keeps a delivery receipt with every fax, and limits who can open faxes with access roles.
