Cart Ambulance is an ambulance service in Minneapolis, Minnesota, providing emergency and non-emergency ground-ambulance transport — 911 response, hospital discharges, and scheduled medical transports in the upper Midwest.

The PCR hand-off to the hospital from Cart Ambulance
A completed run report from Cart Ambulance carries the clinical narrative of the transport, and it is faxed to the receiving facility to close the loop on the patient hand-off. Name the patient and the incident or run number on the cover sheet so the report is filed against the right visit. Keep the confirmation so the run record shows the PCR was delivered.
The transfer packet Cart Ambulance receives
An interfacility transfer arranged through Cart Ambulance runs on paperwork from the sending facility: the face sheet, the nursing notes, the medication list, and the physician's transfer order, all faxed so the crew and the receiving facility have the patient's picture. The packet names the patient, the sending and receiving facilities, and the accepting physician so the transfer is documented end to end. Flag an urgent transfer on the cover sheet so it is prioritized.
Keeping records to Cart Ambulance HIPAA-compliant
Faxing PHI to Cart Ambulance is allowed, but the service you use has to protect it. A consumer fax app is not enough; the channel needs to be encrypted and HIPAA-compliant. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA from the $39.99/month Professional plan, a safer route for patient records going to Cart Ambulance than a public machine.
Faxing to Cart Ambulance — FAQ
The crew documents the transport, and Cart Ambulance faxes the report to the facility that received the patient. Ask Cart Ambulance's records office where to send the release for a copy of the report. A critical hand-off is flagged so the emergency department sees the report before arrival. Send the report as one PDF so no vital sign or timestamp is cut off.
A non-emergency transport at Cart Ambulance generally requires a PCS so the trip is documented and can be covered. The physician's signature and the date are what make the certification valid. Confirm Cart Ambulance's current fax for the certification before the office sends it.
Put the patient's full name, date of birth, and the date of transport on every page. Note the target — dispatch, records, or billing — on the cover sheet. That routing detail is what lets Cart Ambulance reconnect the documents if they separate. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
Faxes reach Cart Ambulance whenever you send them, though records and billing work follows a business-day schedule. Dispatch coverage is continuous, while the office that handles records and billing keeps weekday hours. A records request sent after hours is picked up the next business day. Expect same-day handling for a request sent while the office is open.
