Faxing to Anderson Eye Care — FAQ
Continuity of care is the norm, so Anderson Eye Care sends the exam findings to the physician you name. The more exact the destination, the faster the primary office files it. Your regular office needs the exam details, and the faxed report provides them. A quick follow-up call confirms your doctor's office received it if a finding is time-sensitive.
You are entitled to your prescription, so Anderson Eye Care can fax an eyeglass or contact-lens Rx to a retailer or optician. Name the receiving retailer and confirm its fax so the Rx lands correctly. An eyeglass prescription carries the sphere, cylinder, axis, and any add so the lenses can be made. Keep the confirmation so you can show the prescription was released.
At minimum, the patient's name and date of birth belong on each page. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Anderson Eye Care desk and include a number staff can call. That routing detail is what lets Anderson Eye Care reconnect the documents if they separate. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
You can send to Anderson Eye Care any time the machine is on, and the office's posted hours mean it is usually received the same day; records requests are worked on weekdays.
