Faxing to Berkshire Medical Center — FAQ
Berkshire Medical Center does not publish a single fax for the whole hospital. The line for medical records is separate from the one for referrals. Verify the current fax for physician referrals or your target department first. Which line is right depends on the office, not the hospital as a whole.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Berkshire Medical Center department and include a number staff can call.
