Sending patient records to Care First Urgent Care without cutting corners

Because these documents hold health information about a patient, the transport to Care First Urgent Care has to be compliant.

Faxing to Care First Urgent Care — FAQ

Every page should carry the patient's full name and date of birth. Add a cover sheet addressed to records or the front desk at Care First Urgent Care with your callback number. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Care First Urgent Care. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.

Incoming faxes to Care First Urgent Care are received across the clinic's long daily hours, but processing of routine documents keeps to office hours. Because Care First Urgent Care stays open late, someone is usually at the desk to receive a fax. Time-sensitive results reach the clinical staff while the clinic is open; routine paperwork waits for office hours. Flag anything urgent on the cover sheet so staff see it is time-sensitive.

It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. Faxing itself is accepted for PHI; the transport is what has to be secure. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA starting at $39.99/month — safer for PHI headed to Care First Urgent Care than a public machine. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.

Get it from the center itself rather than an old listing, since a clinic's numbers change. A larger center may take some documents through a records office, so confirm Care First Urgent Care still accepts fax for your request. A quick check beats faxing PHI to a number that has moved. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.

Follow-up is coordinated by faxing the diagnosis, results, and instructions from Care First Urgent Care to the office that manages your care. Confirm the destination fax with Care First Urgent Care before you rely on the summary being sent. A follow-up call confirms your office received it if it is urgent. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. That keeps the request moving without a second round trip.
