Sending imaging records to Argus Radiology Consultants without cutting corners
A fax to Argus Radiology Consultants that carries a patient's study or report is PHI and belongs on a secure channel. A walk-in machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect.

Faxing to Argus Radiology Consultants — FAQ
No. Documents go to different fax lines at Argus Radiology Consultants depending on the office. What you send to medical records will not reach the scheduling office. Confirm the correct line for the office you are reaching before you send. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
Every page should carry the patient's full name, date of birth, and record number. On the cover sheet, name medical records or the receiving office so it lands with the right team. Attach the signed authorization when the fax is a records or image request. For an imaging order, add the study ordered, the body part, and the clinical indication.
Incoming faxes to Argus Radiology Consultants are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not always immediate. Records and scheduling offices work weekday business hours. The imaging team handles add-on and stat orders on the day's scan schedule. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.
It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. Faxing itself is accepted for PHI; the transport is what has to be secure. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month and encrypts documents in transit for records bound for Argus Radiology Consultants. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
