The secure way to fax Catholic Hospice
A patient's records are protected health information, so how you fax them to Catholic Hospice matters. A walk-in machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month, with the Business plan at $79.99/month for higher volume — a safer route for records going to Catholic Hospice than a public machine.
Faxing to Catholic Hospice — FAQ
File a signed authorization with medical records. Catholic Hospice routes the request to the records staff who pull the chart. A complete request — identifiers, dates, and records wanted — moves fastest. The records move once the office verifies the authorization.
Not one central number. Records, admission intake, and hospice-care orders each keep their own line. Verify the current fax for the admissions and referral office or your target office first. Which line is right depends on the office, not the organization as a whole.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. Add a cover sheet addressed to the admissions and referral office at Catholic Hospice with your callback number. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Catholic Hospice. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
The machines accept faxes around the clock; staff processing depends on the office. Administrative offices keep a Monday-to-Friday schedule. Send routine requests early in the day for same-day handling; urgent symptom-management orders are actioned immediately. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue rather than jumping ahead.
