Faxing to Chicago VA Clinic — FAQ

No. Chicago VA Clinic routes faxes to separate office lines, so the Release of Information office and the community care and referral office do not share a number.

That routing detail is what lets Chicago VA Clinic reconnect the documents if they separate. Clear labeling is what keeps a multi-page document together at Chicago VA Clinic.

Chicago VA Clinic receives faxes at any hour, but the offices that process them keep set schedules. Records and referral offices work weekday business hours. Time-critical requests are picked up by staff during business hours. Expect same-day handling only for the urgent requests staff watch for.
