Hard copy signatures are still required on a lot of health care related forms and we've got boxes and boxes of files in the storage cabinets -- gotta keep hard copy documentation of client files for 7 years in case of an audit (even though we've got them scanned and saved in electronic files which are backed-up to a secured server).
It's annoying and wasteful.
Umm..what's the difference between a scanned/printed copy of a signature and a facsimile of a signature? They're still both copies..
Long term care insurance and some medical providers often don't have a a dedicated representative for each client/patient, or centralized drop box or email. You fax the claims department the completed and signed form, it gets reviewed, and it gets delivered to the appropriate/available representative for processing.
Old school, for sure.
