Faxing to Duke Cancer Institute — 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 Duke Cancer Institute. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
The current line comes from Duke Cancer Institute directly, since department numbers change. The referring provider's office often already has the correct Duke Cancer Institute fax on file. Keep the working number with the patient's file for next time. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.
Not one central number. The line for oncology records is separate from the one for referrals. Verify the current fax for new-patient referral intake or your target department first. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
Include the three identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name, date of birth, and medical record number. Note the target office — oncology records, a clinic, or prior authorization — on the cover sheet. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Duke Cancer Institute. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
New-patient oncology referrals go to intake, which coordinates records, pathology, and imaging. Ask Duke Cancer Institute for the referral fax before you send. Attach the pathology and imaging so the tumor board can review promptly. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. The result is a clean hand-off to the right team at Duke Cancer Institute.
