Facility-to-facility moves through Aircare Alaska
When a hospital or nursing facility moves a patient by Aircare Alaska, the sending facility faxes a transfer packet — demographics, the current condition, medications, and the accepting physician — so the transport and the receiving unit are prepared. Flag a time-critical transfer so the crew and the receiving facility act on it promptly. Put the patient's name and date of birth on every page so it is matched.

Send FAX Mail's Professional plan ($39.99/month) and Business plan ($79.99/month) both include HIPAA coverage and encryption for documents bound for Aircare Alaska.
Faxing to Aircare Alaska — FAQ
The PCS certifies why ambulance-level transport is required, and Aircare Alaska needs it before or shortly after a scheduled trip. For repetitive transport, the certification states how often the transport recurs. Fax the completed certification to Aircare Alaska's billing or scheduling office.
Include the identifiers staff use to match a trip: name, date of birth, and transport date. State the specific desk the fax is for on the cover sheet. Attach the signed authorization or certification when the fax is a records request or a claim document. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
Aircare Alaska runs dispatch around the clock, so the machine receives a fax at any hour, but the records and billing staff who process a request work a weekday window. A transport agency is staffed whenever a call could come in, and the office during business hours. Send routine records and billing faxes during weekday hours so they are worked promptly. Expect same-day handling for a request sent while the office is open.
