Faxing to Carolina Diagnostics — FAQ
The right number depends on which office should receive the document. Call Carolina Diagnostics and ask for the scheduling and test-ordering office or the office you are reaching. Verifying the office and the line up front is the honest shortcut. Note the number the first time so the next fax to Carolina Diagnostics is quicker.

No. Carolina Diagnostics routes faxes to separate office lines, so the medical records office and the scheduling and test-ordering office do not share a number. Each office — client services, records, the laboratory team — answers a different fax. Identify the destination before sending so nothing is misrouted. Sending to the wrong line only delays the patient's testing.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. State the specific Carolina Diagnostics office the fax is for on the cover sheet. With identifiers and destination clear, nothing gets misrouted. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.
