The referral packet AHI Sleep receives
Most new patients reach AHI Sleep on a referral: the primary care office faxes the reason for referral, the relevant history, and any screening scores so the sleep physician can triage the visit. A complete referral in one fax means the office is not chasing missing history before it can book the study. Put the patient identifiers on every page so the referral is matched.
The order-and-report loop for a study at AHI Sleep
A sleep study ordered through AHI Sleep — attended in-lab polysomnography or a home sleep apnea test — produces an interpreted report that is faxed back to the referring physician, and that order-and-report loop is a defining sleep workflow. The interpreted report states the apnea-hypopnea index and the diagnosis so the office can plan therapy. Send the report with any summary so the finding has its context.
Keeping records to AHI Sleep HIPAA-compliant
Because these documents hold health information about a patient, the transport to AHI Sleep has to be compliant. The rules turn on using a secure, compliant service rather than a public or ad-supported one. On Send FAX Mail, HIPAA coverage is included from the $39.99/month Professional tier up, and every page to AHI Sleep is encrypted in transit with a delivery confirmation.
Faxing to AHI Sleep — FAQ
Faxes reach AHI Sleep whenever you send them, though prior-authorization and records work follows a business-day schedule. Front-desk coverage tracks the practice's clinic hours, and the lab is staffed overnight for studies. Send routine records and prior-authorization faxes during weekday hours so they are worked promptly. Expect same-day handling for a result sent while the office is open.
It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. The risk is not the fax itself but an unsecured tool, so a free app or a public machine will not do. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month and encrypts documents in transit for records bound for AHI Sleep. Compliance is about how the pages travel, not only where they land at AHI Sleep.
The right number depends on which staff should receive the document. The patient's physician or the referring office often already has the correct AHI Sleep fax on file. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misrouted record. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this sensitive.
File a signed authorization with the office's records staff. Ask AHI Sleep where the signed release should go. List the patient identifiers, the dates of care, and the exact records you want. The records move once staff verify the authorization and your identity.
