Birth Detroit Fax Number

Use Birth Detroit's client or referring-provider instructions to find where to send documents

Hours: A birth center holds prenatal visits during weekday clinic hours while a midwife is on call around the clock for labor, so the front desk receives a fax during business hours and the records staff who process release requests work a narrower window.

What You Can Fax to Birth Detroit

  • Insurance verification and prior-authorization paperwork for a birth-center delivery
  • Prior birth records and operative reports reviewed for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) candidate
  • A dating or anatomy ultrasound report from the imaging center into the prenatal chart
  • Prenatal lab results — blood type, CBC, GBS culture, and glucose screening — from the lab
  • A consult or transfer-of-care note to a collaborating obstetrician when a pregnancy risks out
Tip: Put the client's name and date of birth on each page so Birth Detroit can match it cleanly.

Group the pages into a single fax and hold onto the confirmation in case you need to prove it arrived.

Faxing a single-case agreement from Birth Detroit

Before a birth-center birth, Birth Detroit often faxes the benefits verification and the prior-authorization paperwork so the global maternity care is covered. Name the client, the plan, and the member ID on every authorization fax so it is matched to the right benefit. Flag a due-date deadline so the authorization is worked promptly.

Consults and transfers of care at Birth Detroit

Because a birth center cares for low-risk pregnancies, Birth Detroit faxes a consult or a transfer-of-care packet whenever a pregnancy needs an obstetric opinion or a higher level of care. Send the prenatal record, the reason for transfer, and the current findings together so the receiving office has the full picture. Confirm the collaborating physician's or hospital's fax before Birth Detroit sends the packet.

Sending patient records to Birth Detroit without cutting corners

Because these documents hold health information about a mother and baby, the transport to Birth Detroit has to be compliant. Encryption in transit and a compliant provider are what keep the transmission within the rules. Send FAX Mail's Professional plan ($39.99/month) and Business plan ($79.99/month) both include HIPAA coverage and encryption for documents bound for Birth Detroit.

Faxing to Birth Detroit — FAQ

Every page should carry the client's full name and date of birth. On the cover sheet, name the records staff or the receiving staff so it lands with the right person. That routing detail is what lets Birth Detroit reconnect the documents if they separate. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.

Incoming faxes to Birth Detroit are received across the office's business hours, but processing of routine documents keeps to office hours. Because Birth Detroit is staffed through the clinic day, someone is usually at the desk to receive a fax. A records release sent after hours is picked up the next business day. Expect same-day handling for a result sent while the office is open.

It can be, with the right service. Faxing itself is accepted for PHI; the transport is what has to be secure. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Birth Detroit. Compliance is about how the pages travel, not only where they land at Birth Detroit.

Get it from the office itself rather than an old listing, since a practice's numbers change. A larger practice may take some documents through a records office, so confirm Birth Detroit still accepts fax for your request. Keep the working number with the client's file for next time. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this sensitive.

From a prenatal transfer in to a hospital transfer out to the newborn hand-off, Birth Detroit moves the record by fax to the office that needs it. Confirm the receiving fax with Birth Detroit for each recipient. Include the client's or newborn's identifiers on every page so the record is matched. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. That keeps the request moving without a second round trip.
