Faxing to Carle Hospice — FAQ
Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. 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 Carle Hospice than a public machine. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
The current line comes from Carle Hospice directly, since office numbers change. The discharging hospital's case manager often already has the correct Carle Hospice fax on file. A quick check beats faxing PHI to a number that has moved. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.
Send a signed release form to the records staff who manage the patient's file. The office names the current fax once your request is on file. A complete request — identifiers, dates, and records wanted — moves fastest. Once processed, Carle Hospice releases the records to you or the party you named.
No. Carle Hospice routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the admissions and referral office do not share a number. What you send to medical records will not reach the hospice care team. Verify the current fax for the admissions and referral office or your target office first. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
A transition-to-hospice referral goes to the admissions office that reviews transfers from the health system. Ask Carle Hospice for the current hospice referral line first. Note the patient identifiers and the discharging unit on the cover sheet. Confirm the current fax with Carle Hospice before you send. That keeps the referral moving without a second round trip.
