Faxing to Childrens Hospital Dialysis — FAQ
Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. The risk is not the fax itself but an unsecured tool, so a free app or a public machine will not do. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Childrens Hospital Dialysis. A secure send protects both you and the patient whose chart it is.
The right number depends on which office should receive the document. The referring nephrologist's office often already has the correct Childrens Hospital Dialysis fax on file. Keep the working number with the patient's file for next time. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.
File a signed authorization with health information management. The office names the current fax once your request is on file. Name the records and dates so the office can pull them without a follow-up. Turnaround depends on the request; routine copies are handled in the order received.
Not one central number. What you send to health information management will not reach the dialysis care team. Match the office to your document, then send to that specific line. When in doubt, ask Childrens Hospital Dialysis for the office by name.
