Faxing to Atracare Mental Health — FAQ
Include the identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name and date of birth. State the specific staff the fax is for on the cover sheet. Attach the signed release or consent when the fax is a records request or a decision document. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
Atracare Mental Health keeps outpatient clinic hours, so the intake office can receive a fax during the day, but the release-of-information staff who process authorizations work a weekday window. The clinic hours cover the day and, for some programs, evening sessions. Send routine records and prior-authorization faxes during weekday hours so they are worked promptly. Expect same-day handling for a crisis follow-up sent while the program is open.
