RingCentral Fax Cover Page Default Text

I would like to thank @sjpadgett and the team for such a great job for the RingCentral integration! We’re now using it everyday in OpenEMR and almost never have to log into our RingCentral account on their website anymore. Kudos!

I have figured out a way to include a generic HIPAA disclaimer in the cover sheet for RingCentral.
Line 422 in the file openemr/interface/modules/custom_modules/oe-module-faxsms/src/Controller/RCFaxClient.php
Where ‘coverPageText’ => text($comments) is, change to this:

‘coverPageText’ => text($comments) . "\n\n IMPORTANT: This facsimile transmission contains confidential information, some or all of which may be protected health information as defined by the federal Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule. This transmission is intended for the exclusive use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

If you are not the intended recipient (or an employee or agent responsible for delivering this facsimile transmission to the intended recipient), you are hereby notified that any disclosure, dissemination, distribution or copying of this information is strictly prohibited and may be subject to legal restriction or sanction. Please notify the sender by telephone (number listed above) to arrange the return or destruction of the information and all copies."

So now, when staff sends a fax in OpenEMR, the standard disclaimer will appear right after the optional notes for cover page. I tested it and it has been working great for us.

I would like to share what I changed, maybe it will help someone else! I’m not a coder by any means.
