Faxing PHI to Baptist Health Hospice the compliant way
A fax to Baptist Health Hospice that carries a chart is PHI and belongs on a secure channel. A walk-in machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. With Send FAX Mail you send from your phone or computer over a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted connection — Professional is $39.99/month and Business $79.99/month — appropriate for charts sent to Baptist Health Hospice.
Faxing to Baptist Health Hospice — FAQ
No. Baptist Health Hospice routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the admissions and referral office do not share a number. As a hospital-affiliated hospice, it splits incoming faxes across medical records, intake, and the hospice care team. Match the office to your document, then send to that specific line. Which line is right depends on the office, not the organization as a whole.
Every page should carry the patient's full name, date of birth, and record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Baptist Health Hospice office and include a number staff can call. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
Incoming faxes to Baptist Health Hospice are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not always immediate. The offices that handle referrals and records keep standard weekday hours. A records request sent overnight is worked the next business day, while urgent orders go to the on-call team. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue rather than jumping ahead.
Faxing records to Baptist Health Hospice is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. An unsecured machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Baptist Health Hospice. Compliance is about how the pages travel, not only where they land at Baptist Health Hospice.
