List the patient identifiers, the dates, and the exact records you want so nothing is missed. Once processed, Baptist Health Home Care releases the records to you or the party you named.
No. Baptist Health Home Care routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the referral intake office do not share a number.

Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
At minimum, the patient's name, date of birth, and medical record number belong on each page. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Baptist Health Home Care office and include a number staff can call. Attach the signed ROI authorization when the fax is a records request. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
You can send to Baptist Health Home Care any time, though routine paperwork is worked during business hours. The offices that handle referrals and records keep standard weekday hours.
