Associated Pediatric Dentistry Fax Number — Send a Specialist Referral

People most often fax Associated Pediatric Dentistry a signed HIPAA authorization, a specialist referral, or a treatment plan with a pre-treatment estimate. A referring dentist often faxes a referral and the patient's history so the receiving provider can prepare. Ask Associated Pediatric Dentistry which records, images, or attachments should go with it. The front office can tell you which documents it still needs by fax versus a portal.

Put the patient's full name and date of birth, and your own name, on every page. On the cover sheet, name the document and the provider it is for so it reaches the right desk. With the name, date of birth, and destination clear, nothing is misdirected. Complete, legible details are what move the request fastest through a group's front office.

Faxes reach Associated Pediatric Dentistry whenever you send, but a form is reviewed when the office is open. Staff match a faxed document to a chart and a provider during business hours. Routine paperwork follows the normal queue rather than jumping ahead. A brief follow-up call confirms a time-sensitive fax to Associated Pediatric Dentistry was seen.

Dental records are protected health information, and a dental group is a HIPAA covered entity. As the patient, you authorize who receives the record, and the group releases it on that signature. Even though it is your own record, a secure channel keeps it out of the wrong hands.

As the parent, you sign a HIPAA authorization and Associated Pediatric Dentistry requests the child's chart from the previous dentist. Confirm whether Associated Pediatric Dentistry takes the records or a sedation clearance by fax or a portal. Label the pages so Associated Pediatric Dentistry matches them to the right child. Confirm the current fax with Associated Pediatric Dentistry before you send, and check the group still accepts it. The result is a clean hand-off to the right provider at Associated Pediatric Dentistry.
