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.

When care moves from Birth Essentials to a physician or hospital
A transfer from Birth Essentials — non-emergent for a risk factor, or during labor — carries the prenatal record and the reason for transfer so the OB or hospital picks up care with the full history. Name the client and the collaborating physician on the cover sheet so the consult is matched to the record. Send the record and the transfer note as one PDF so nothing arrives split.
Getting a prenatal record to Birth Essentials
A prenatal transfer to Birth Essentials carries what the midwife needs up front: the dating, the prenatal labs, the ultrasound reports, and the prior provider's notes. A complete transfer in one fax means the midwife is not chasing missing history before the next visit. Put the client's name and due date on every page so the record is matched.

Faxing to Birth Essentials — FAQ
Every page should carry the client's full name and date of birth. Note the target — records, the clinical team, or billing — on the cover sheet. That routing detail is what lets Birth Essentials reconnect the documents if they separate. A missing identifier is the usual reason a fax sits in a queue at Birth Essentials.
Incoming faxes to Birth Essentials 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. A records release sent after hours is picked up the next business day. A brief follow-up call confirms an urgent fax to Birth Essentials was seen.
Faxing records to Birth Essentials 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's Business plan at $79.99/month is HIPAA-compliant and suited to patient records sent to Birth Essentials. Choose the secure channel first, then confirm the number for Birth Essentials.
Get it from the office itself rather than an old listing, since a practice's numbers change. Check Birth Essentials's client or referring-provider instructions, then verify the line by phone. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong hands. The office that receives the fax is the authority on its own number.
From a prenatal transfer in to a hospital transfer out to the newborn hand-off, Birth Essentials moves the record by fax to the office that needs it. Ask Birth Essentials to note the destination on the cover sheet. Keep the confirmation until the record is acknowledged. A brief call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive fax. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
