Getting a physician's prescription to Atlas Physical Therapy
Before a first visit, Atlas Physical Therapy needs the referring physician's referral and any protocol, and those are faxed over so the therapist can plan the evaluation. Send the script, the diagnosis, and any post-surgical protocol together so the therapist has the full picture. Put the patient identifiers on every page so the referral is matched.
Getting a plan of care signed for Atlas Physical Therapy
A course of therapy at Atlas Physical Therapy runs on a plan of care that the referring physician has to sign, so the signed plan is faxed to the physician for certification and faxed back once signed — the everyday document a PT clinic moves. The plan carries the diagnosis, the goals, and the visit frequency the physician is certifying. Give Atlas Physical Therapy the correct destination fax so the plan is not sent to a stale line.
Keeping records to Atlas Physical Therapy HIPAA-compliant
Faxing PHI to Atlas Physical Therapy is allowed, but the service you use has to protect it. A walk-in machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so PHI headed to Atlas Physical Therapy travels over a compliant channel instead of a shared machine.
Faxing to Atlas Physical Therapy — FAQ
Certification is standard: Atlas Physical Therapy faxes the plan of care — diagnosis, goals, and frequency — to your physician to sign. The more exact the destination, the faster the office signs and returns the plan. A signed plan is what lets the clinic bill and continue treatment. That one step keeps certification from stalling.
Put the patient's full name and date of birth on every page. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Atlas Physical Therapy desk and include a number staff can call. That routing detail is what lets Atlas Physical Therapy reconnect the documents if they separate. Clear labeling is what keeps a multi-page document together at Atlas Physical Therapy.
Faxes reach Atlas Physical Therapy whenever you send them, though authorization and records work follows a business-day schedule. The front desk is covered whenever the clinic is treating patients. A records release sent after hours is picked up the next business day. A quick call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive page.
It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. A consumer app is not enough; the channel has to be encrypted and compliant, which rules out a shared machine. Send FAX Mail's Business plan at $79.99/month is HIPAA-compliant and suited to patient records sent to Atlas Physical Therapy. A secure send protects both you and the patient whose record it is.
