What You Can Fax to Birmingham PET Imaging

  • A stat or add-on order for a patient already on site
  • A screening order (for example, screening mammography or low-dose lung CT)
  • A prior-authorization approval from the insurer for advanced imaging (MRI, CT, or PET)
  • The clinical notes and history that support medical necessity for the study

Tip: Mark all pages with the patient identifiers (name, date of birth, record number) that Birmingham PET Imaging needs to reconnect a split order. Direct the cover sheet to the scheduling and pre-authorization office or the office handling the request, with a callback number for questions. Group the pages into a single fax and hold onto the confirmation in case you need to prove it arrived.

Where a new order goes at Birmingham PET Imaging

An imaging order for Birmingham PET Imaging — the study, the body part, and the clinical indication — goes to the scheduling and pre-authorization office, which books the appointment. The office reviews the indication so the radiologist reads the study against the right clinical question. Address the cover sheet to the scheduling and pre-authorization office so the order reaches the schedulers.

How a payer approval reaches Birmingham PET Imaging

Faxing to Birmingham PET Imaging — FAQ

Not one central number. Each office — scheduling, records, the imaging team — answers a different fax. Confirm the correct line for the office you are reaching before you send. Sending to the wrong line only delays the patient's imaging.

Every page should carry the patient's full name, date of birth, and record number. State the specific Birmingham PET Imaging office the fax is for on the cover sheet. Attach the signed authorization when the fax is a records or image request. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.

Incoming faxes to Birmingham PET Imaging are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not always immediate. Routine records and scheduling are staffed on weekdays. The imaging team handles add-on and stat orders on the day's scan schedule. A brief follow-up call confirms an urgent fax to Birmingham PET Imaging was seen.

It can be, with the right service. An unsecured machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month and encrypts documents in transit for records bound for Birmingham PET Imaging. Handled that way, the records stay within the rules end to end.

Send the order to scheduling and the payer approval to the authorization office. Confirm the scheduling and authorization fax lines with Birmingham PET Imaging before sending a time-sensitive order. Note that the tracer dose is scheduled in advance so timing matters. Name the receiving office on the cover sheet so it is not misrouted. That keeps the order moving without a second round trip.
