Faxing to Baystate Medical Center — FAQ
Not one central number. What you send to Health Information Management will not reach the physician referral office. Match the office to your document, then send to that specific line. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. On the cover sheet, name Health Information Management or the receiving clinic so it lands with the right team. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
The machines accept faxes around the clock; staff processing depends on the department. Records and referral offices work weekday business hours. A records request sent overnight is picked up the next business day, while urgent items go straight to the units. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.
It can be, with the right service. The risk is not the fax itself but an unsecured tool, so a free app or a public machine will not do. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Baystate Medical Center. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
Yes — transfer paperwork commonly moves by fax. The transfer center owns that line, separate from records requests. Call Baystate Medical Center to reach the transfer line and send the clinical summary and orders together. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. The result is a clean hand-off to the right team at Baystate Medical Center.
