A little teaser off the blog post:<\/p>\n

I’m taking my own advice with this, and complaining to my physician office’s privacy officer, because while the organization will FAX records to another healthcare provider (whom I identify over the phone), they will not FAX them to my FAX machine AT MY home phone number (which is included in the record) at my request.<\/p>\n

So, I get to do a little ‘splaining of HIPAA to my HCP, and I’ll be using\u00a0OCR’s memo<\/a>\u00a0if I need it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
