Billings Dermatology Fax Number — Biopsy and Pathology Reports

Because a biopsy report is protected health information, this guide covers both where to send it and how to keep the transmission compliant.

Skin biopsies and pathology reports at Billings Dermatology
When Billings Dermatology biopsies a lesion, the specimen requisition is faxed to the pathology lab and the graded pathology report is faxed back so the diagnosis reaches the chart. The requisition names the patient, the biopsy site, and the clinical question so the lab reads it in context. Send the report with any images so the finding has its context.
