Why healthcare still relies on fax

Fax isn't going away — but the machine should.

Despite the move toward EHRs, fax remains the de facto transport for inter-office communication in US healthcare. CMS-mandated forms, specialist referrals, prior authorizations, and prescription orders still travel by fax because every provider has one — and HIPAA's strict transport rules make it harder to replace than email. The problem isn't fax. The problem is the analog machine, the paper trail, and the privacy risk of a document sitting unattended on an output tray.

Built for HIPAA

Compliance, by design.

We treat patient data the way you do. Every layer of HelpMeFax is built to support the safeguards required for PHI.

AES-256 encryption at rest

Documents stored on encrypted volumes — even our database admins can't read them in the clear.

TLS 1.2+ in transit

Every byte between your browser and our servers is encrypted, including the document upload and the rendered preview.

Audit log of every transmission

Who sent what, when, to which number — exportable for your compliance team.

Configurable retention windows

Documents are encrypted in your browser before upload (TLS 1.2+ in transit) and stored with AES-256 encryption at rest. Faxes are transmitted over a private SIP backbone — they never touch a public phone line in plaintext.
