Faxing to Biocare Pathology Lab — FAQ
A number copied from a search result may be stale; Biocare Pathology Lab has the current one. Check Biocare Pathology Lab's client-services or medical-records page, then verify the line by phone. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misrouted record. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this sensitive.
Start with a signed ROI form to Biocare Pathology Lab's records office. The records office confirms the fax destination for the authorization. List the patient identifiers, the collection dates, and the exact results you want so nothing is missed. The records move once the office verifies the authorization.
No. Biocare Pathology Lab routes faxes to separate office lines, so the pathology records office and the accessioning and client services office do not share a number. As a pathology laboratory, it splits incoming faxes across the pathology records office, client services, and the laboratory team. Confirm the correct line for the office you are reaching before you send. Which line is right depends on the office, not the lab as a whole.
Include the identifiers staff use to match a specimen: full name, date of birth, and record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Biocare Pathology Lab office and include a number staff can call. Attach the signed authorization when the fax is a records or results request. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the order fastest.
Send the requisition to accessioning and the report request to records. Ask Biocare Pathology Lab which office receives specimen requisitions and which releases reports. Note the patient identifiers so the case is matched to the correct chart. A brief call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive fax. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
