Whether it's CPAP documentation, prior authorization approvals, or hospital discharge summaries—fax is still the primary method many organizations use to communicate vital patient information.
Unfortunately, manual fax triage consumes hours of staff time and introduces significant delays in care coordination. The solution? AI-powered fax platforms purpose-built for healthcare—and specifically optimized for pulmonology workflows.
In this article, we’ll break down the leading AI solutions, show you what to look for in a fax automation partner, and explain why Honey Health stands out for pulmonology practices.
Why Fax Still Rules in Pulmonology
Pulmonology clinics handle diverse data flows:
- Sleep studies and CPAP documentation
- Radiology and imaging reports
- Primary care and hospital referrals
- Durable Medical Equipment (DME) approvals
- Prior auth confirmations
And in many cases, these arrive via fax—unstructured, hard to track, and easy to misplace without the right system in place.
Top Competitors in Fax AI for Healthcare
Here’s a look at some of the current fax automation platforms in the healthcare space:
- Samasama Health: Offers basic fax triage and document recognition, but lacks end-to-end actionability within pulmonology-specific workflows.
- Nabla: Strong in summarization but light in document automation. Often relies on staff to complete actions.
- Parable: Targets hospital systems with document search tools—not focused on ambulatory or fax-heavy specialties like pulmonology.
- Honey Health: EHR-native AI agents that automatically route, tag, and act on faxes—purpose-built for specialty care like pulmonology.
What Sets Honey Health Apart
- EHR-Native Integration: Operates entirely within existing EHRs—no new UI, no toggling between systems.
- Specialty-Aware Agents: Trained on pulmonology documentation, Honey knows how to distinguish a sleep study from a prior auth response.
- Agentic Execution: Honey’s AI doesn’t just read—it acts. It can route faxes to the right inbox, update charts, alert staff, and kick off next steps.
- Human-in-the-Loop Oversight: Providers can easily review, confirm, or override agent decisions to maintain control.
- Compliance Built-In: HIPAA-compliant with clear audit trails on every agent action.
Key Benefits for Pulmonology Teams
- Time Savings: Eliminate hours of manual sorting each week
- Fewer Errors: Reduce lost documents and misrouted referrals
- Faster Care: Route urgent cases faster (e.g. abnormal imaging or hospital discharges)
- Reduced Burnout: Let staff focus on patients—not paperwork
Conclusion
AI fax platforms are no longer optional—they’re essential for pulmonology groups looking to scale efficiently, reduce burnout, and improve care timelines. Among the options available today, Honey Health provides the most robust, flexible, and specialty-informed solution.
