What You Can Fax to Cocheco Eye Care

  • Pre-operative measurements forwarded to a surgical center for cataract planning
  • An eyeglass prescription released after the refraction

Prior authorization and vision plans at Cocheco Eye Care

Whether it is a medical carrier or a routine vision plan, Cocheco Eye Care faxes the authorization paperwork the coverage decision depends on. Confirm whether the paperwork goes to the medical carrier or the vision plan before sending. Flag a time-sensitive authorization so it is worked promptly.

Ophthalmology referrals from Cocheco Eye Care

Referrals are a routine outbound fax at Cocheco Eye Care: the optometrist documents the exam, then sends the findings to the ophthalmologist who takes over. Name the patient and the referring optometrist on the cover sheet so the specialist ties the referral to the record. Confirm the specialty office's fax before Cocheco Eye Care sends the referral.

Sending patient records to Cocheco Eye Care without cutting corners

Because these documents hold health information about a patient, the transport to Cocheco Eye Care has to be compliant. 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 Cocheco Eye Care than a public machine.

Faxing to Cocheco Eye Care — FAQ

You are entitled to your prescription, so Cocheco Eye Care can fax an eyeglass or contact-lens Rx to a retailer or optician. Providing the seller's fax speeds the release along. A contact-lens prescription lists the brand, base curve, diameter, power, and expiration so the seller fills it exactly. Keep the confirmation so you can show the prescription was released.

Include the identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name and date of birth. State the specific staff the fax is for on the cover sheet. Attach the signed release or consent when the fax is a records request or a decision document. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.

You can send to Cocheco Eye Care any time the machine is on, and the office's posted hours mean it is usually received the same day; records requests are worked on weekdays. An eye care office is staffed while patients are being seen. Send routine records and prior-authorization faxes during weekday hours so they are worked promptly. Flag anything urgent on the cover sheet so staff see it is time-sensitive.

Yes, when the transport is compliant. An unsecured machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail's Business plan at $79.99/month is HIPAA-compliant and suited to patient records sent to Cocheco Eye Care. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.

After a comprehensive exam, Cocheco Eye Care faxes the report to your primary care physician, any glaucoma or macular imaging to a treating specialist, and a referral to an ophthalmologist when surgery or subspecialty care is needed. Get the current fax from Cocheco Eye Care directly. Send the report and its imaging as one PDF so they stay together. Name the receiving staff on the cover sheet so it is not misrouted. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
