The cover sheet that gets your fax routed at DHR Health

Sending charts to DHR Health without cutting corners
A fax to DHR Health that carries a chart is PHI and belongs on a secure channel. 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 DHR Health than a public machine.

Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. HIPAA turns on using a compliant, encrypted service rather than a public one.

Not one central number. What you send to medical records will not reach physician referrals. Identify the destination before sending so nothing is misrouted. Sending to the wrong line only delays the paperwork.
Include the three identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name, date of birth, and medical record number. On the cover sheet, name medical records or the receiving clinic so it lands with the right team. With identifiers and destination clear, nothing gets misrouted. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.
You start with a signed records-release form to the records office. The records office confirms the fax or upload destination. Once processed, they release the records to you or the party you named. A brief call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive fax. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
