Ascend Rehab Fax Number — Plan of Care and Physician Certification
Before therapy at Ascend Rehab is certified, the plan of care needs your physician's signature; here is how it is faxed for certification and returned. Ascend Rehab is an outpatient rehabilitation clinic in St Louis Park, Minnesota, providing outpatient rehabilitation — physical therapy plus, at many clinics, balance, neurological, or post-surgical recovery care in the upper Midwest. Because a plan of care is protected health information, this guide covers both where to send it and how to keep the transmission compliant.
Ascend Rehab Fax Number
Confirm the fax with Ascend Rehab; records may sit on a different line than the front desk
Hours: An outpatient physical therapy clinic keeps weekday clinic hours — often early mornings and evenings for working patients — so the front desk can receive a fax while the clinic is open, though the records staff who process release requests work a narrower window.

Certifying therapy: the plan of care at Ascend Rehab
Certification is why Ascend Rehab faxes the plan of care to the referring physician: therapy proceeds under a physician-signed plan, not a therapist's alone. Name the patient and the referring office on the cover sheet so the plan is matched to the right chart. A follow-up call confirms the physician's office received the plan if certification is time-sensitive.
How Ascend Rehab updates your physician on progress
Re-evaluation is built into a course of therapy, and the report — range of motion, strength, and progress toward goals — is faxed to the referring physician. A clear cover sheet naming the referring physician speeds the update to the right desk. Send the report as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order.

Faxing to Ascend Rehab — FAQ
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 and encryption from $39.99/month for faxes to Ascend Rehab. Handled that way, the records stay within the rules end to end.
The right number depends on which staff should receive the document. The referring physician's office often already has the correct Ascend Rehab fax on file. Verifying the office and the line up front is the honest shortcut. Note the number the first time so the next fax to Ascend Rehab is quicker.
File a signed authorization with the clinic's records office. Ask Ascend Rehab where the signed release should go. Put the patient identifiers and the requested dates of service on the authorization. They release the copies to the recipient you named after processing.
As an outpatient clinic, Ascend Rehab usually runs one working fax at the front desk, with records and authorizations sometimes on a second line at a busier location. A referral and a records request can land with different staff at Ascend Rehab. Check with Ascend Rehab so the fax reaches the right person. Sending to the wrong desk only delays the document.
