Based in Danvers, Massachusetts, Care Dimensions is a community-based nonprofit hospice and a community hospice and palliative care organization serving patients and families throughout the Boston area and greater New England. Because these documents carry patient health information, this guide covers both where to send them and how to keep the transmission compliant.

Faxing the hospice election and CTI to Care Dimensions
Admitting a patient to Care Dimensions means the hospice election statement and the physician's certification of terminal illness reach the admissions and referral office. The attending physician the patient designates is recorded so orders and the plan of care are coordinated. Send the election statement, the CTI, and the F2F note together so nothing arrives split.
How patient-care orders reach Care Dimensions
Medication and comfort-care orders for Care Dimensions patients are handled by the clinical team, apart from intake. Comfort-kit and symptom-management orders are coordinated with the hospice's pharmacy so the family has medication on hand. Confirm the current clinical fax with Care Dimensions before sending a time-sensitive comfort-care order.

Faxing to Care Dimensions — FAQ
At minimum, the patient's name, date of birth, and medical record number belong on each page. On the cover sheet, name medical records or the receiving office so it lands with the right team. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
Faxes reach Care Dimensions whenever you send, but when they are handled varies by office. Records and admission-intake offices work weekday business hours. A records request sent overnight is worked the next business day, while urgent orders go to the on-call team. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.
It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. The risk is not the fax itself but an unsecured tool, so a free app or a public machine will not do. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Care Dimensions. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
The right number depends on which office should receive the document. The discharging hospital's case manager often already has the correct Care Dimensions fax on file. Keep the working number with the patient's file for next time. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.
A hospice referral and the certification of terminal illness go to the admissions and referral office. Get the working admissions fax from Care Dimensions directly. Include the attending physician's information and the signed certification of terminal illness. A brief call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive fax. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
