Chico VA Clinic Fax Number — Request Your VA Records

No. Chico 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. Each office — records, referrals, enrollment — answers a different fax. Confirm the correct line for the office you are reaching before you send. Keep the confirmed number with the veteran's file so you are not searching next time.

Every page should carry the veteran's full name, date of birth, and the last four of the SSN. Add a cover sheet addressed to the community care and referral office at Chico VA Clinic with your callback number. Attach the signed authorization when the fax is a records request. For a records request, add the exact dates and records you need released.

Incoming faxes to Chico VA Clinic are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not always immediate. Administrative offices keep a Monday-to-Friday schedule. The clinical team handles time-sensitive orders on the day's schedule. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.

Faxing records to Chico VA Clinic is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. An unsecured machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality veterans' records deserve. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month and encrypts documents in transit for records bound for Chico VA Clinic. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.

Name the specialty and the clinical indication so the office routes the consult to the right clinic. Ask Chico VA Clinic which office handles the specialty you are referring to. Send recent results with the consult so the specialist can triage it. A brief call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive fax. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
