Why are doctors and lawyers still using fax in 2026?

Regulatory inertia and legal admissibility. Fax is treated as a 'closed system' for HIPAA/PHI; email isn't (without extra controls). Even with EHR integration, most healthcare networks still require fax for referrals and prior auths. eFax solves the cost without breaking the workflow.

Is eFax actually HIPAA compliant?

Yes — Consensus, Retarus, and most enterprise eFax providers sign BAAs and run encrypted, audit-logged transmission. We confirm compliance scope per client (covered entity vs business associate) during onboarding.

Can I keep my fax number?

Yes — number porting is standard. Some local lines take 2-4 weeks to port; we handle the carrier paperwork end-to-end.
