HIPAA and your fax to Amedisys Home Care
Because these documents hold health information, the transport to Amedisys Home Care has to be compliant.

Faxing to Amedisys Home Care — FAQ
The right number depends on which office should receive the document. Check Amedisys Home Care's referral or medical-records page, then verify the line by phone. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong queue. Note the number the first time so the next fax to Amedisys Home Care is quicker.
File a signed authorization with medical records. Ask Amedisys Home Care where the signed release should go. Include the patient's name, date of birth, and the record types and date range. They release the copies to the recipient you named after processing.
No. Documents go to different fax lines at Amedisys Home Care depending on the office or branch. The line for medical records is separate from the one for referral intake. Ask for the office you actually need to get the right number. Sending to the wrong line only delays the paperwork.
Include the three identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name, date of birth, and medical record number. Note the target office — medical records, referral intake, or the clinical team — on the cover sheet. That routing detail is what lets Amedisys Home Care reconnect the documents if they separate. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.
A referral can go to central intake or the local branch — the operator routes it either way, but confirm which Amedisys Home Care prefers. Ask Amedisys Home Care whether to send to central intake or the local branch line. Group the referral documents into one fax so intake is not waiting on a second. Put the patient identifiers on every page so it is matched cleanly. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
