What fax service is HIPAA compliant?
For HIPAA-compliant faxing, you need a service that signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and uses end-to-end encryption. [mFax Business](https://mfax.to/business/) is designed for healthcare providers and includes HIPAA-ready infrastructure starting at $20.99/month.
Does Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart offer fax services?
No. Walgreens and CVS have internal pharmacy fax machines but they are not available to the public. Walmart discontinued fax services at most locations. Use The UPS Store, FedEx Office, Staples, or the mFax app instead.
