Birth Bungalow Fax Number — Insurance and Authorization
Handling insurance verification or prior authorization for a birth-center delivery at Birth Bungalow? Coverage usually means paperwork faxed to the plan first — this page shows how. Birth Bungalow is a freestanding birth center in Stamford, Connecticut, providing midwife-led prenatal care, labor, and birth for low-risk pregnancies, with newborn care and postpartum follow-up in southern New England. Because these forms carry protected health information, this guide covers both where to send them and how to keep the transmission compliant.
Birth Bungalow Fax Number
Check with Birth Bungalow's front desk, which can route you to records or the clinical staff
Hours: A birth center runs prenatal clinics on weekdays and keeps a midwife on call for labor, so the machine receives faxes across business hours; the records and billing staff who answer authorizations still keep standard weekday hours.

Coverage paperwork for a birth-center birth at Birth Bungalow
Whether it is a global maternity authorization or a single-case agreement, Birth Bungalow faxes the coverage paperwork a birth-center delivery depends on. Confirm whether the paperwork goes to the medical carrier or a benefits manager before sending. Send the authorization packet as one PDF so the documents stay together.
Faxing a transfer of care from Birth Bungalow
A pregnancy that develops a risk factor at Birth Bungalow may need a collaborating obstetrician's consult or a transfer of care — and that consult-and-transfer paperwork moves by fax between the birth center and the OB or hospital. Name the client and the collaborating physician on the cover sheet so the consult is matched to the record. Confirm the collaborating physician's or hospital's fax before Birth Bungalow sends the packet.
Protected health information and Birth Bungalow
Because these documents hold health information about a mother and baby, the transport to Birth Bungalow has to be compliant. A consumer fax app is not enough; the channel needs to be encrypted and HIPAA-compliant. On Send FAX Mail, HIPAA coverage is included from the $39.99/month Professional tier up, and every page to Birth Bungalow is encrypted in transit with a delivery confirmation.
Faxing to Birth Bungalow — FAQ
Once the screens are back, Birth Bungalow can send the newborn record to the pediatrician's office you name. The more exact the destination, the faster the pediatrician files it. A screen result that needs follow-up is flagged so it is not treated as routine. Put the newborn's name and date of birth on the request so it is matched.
Every page should carry the client's full name and date of birth. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Birth Bungalow desk and include a number staff can call. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.
Incoming faxes to Birth Bungalow are received across the office's business hours, but processing of routine documents keeps to office hours. The front desk is covered whenever the office is open for appointments. Send anything routine early in the day so it does not wait over a closed office. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue.
Faxing records to Birth Bungalow is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. A consumer app is not enough; the channel has to be encrypted and compliant, which rules out a shared machine. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Birth Bungalow. Handled that way, the records stay within the rules end to end.
