By combining the full report email function with a third-party email to fax service such as eFax, it is possible to transmit reports via facsimile without subscribing to the OnePacs report transmission by facsimile feature. (While it is possible to arrange a HIPAA-compliant fax-to-email solution for report transmission from OnePacs, the recommended solution is to subscribe to the locally hosted OnePacs facsimile transmission service.)

To send reports through fax-by-email with OnePacs, first, set the “From” email setting to your registered email address with the eFax service, or with the other email-to-fax service of your choice. The “From” email address is the means by which most fax-to-email services recognize the sender of the fax.

The destination should be in the following general format:

<country code><phone number>@<email to fax provider host name>

such as, in the case of sending a fax to 1-800-555-1212 through eFax:

18005551212@efaxsend.comIf a group does wish to send faxes through this method, it is necessary (in the United States) to ensure the arrangements are compliant with HIPAA, or (in other countries) to ensure compliance with local patient information privacy regulations. Please ensure that any such arrangements are fully vetted by your security and legal teams to ensure proper compliance. OnePacs can not vouch for the compliance of third party vendors.
