Carla,
I am on your side. My point was putting "digitally signed by" and stamping a "signature" is not secure at all. My point was IF they are going to accept "digitally signed by," then they shouldn't require a stamped signature as it doesn't really add much.
I do think that faxes are more secure than handwritten scripts carried to the pharmacy (especially given the website at the bottom) and call in scripts which are the least secure. But, fax numbers of offices could easily be put on a fax coming from home. It generally has to be programmed in. A good example is the following:
Some larger offices have two, three or many phone lines out, but obviously only want one incoming number. So, they may have a main number of 555-1111 which is their fax number in and out. But, they then may have 555-2222, 555-3333 and 555-4444. They wouldn't want those fax numbers on the top of the page or they would have many faxes bounce back. So, each fax going out would still have the 555-1111 number on it.
