Sending and requesting records at Erim Eye Care

To request or send records at Erim Eye Care, the request goes to the records staff on a signed release, and an eye-exam record includes the findings, any imaging, and the prescription. A signed release-of-information authorization is what allows the record to move. Confirm the current records fax with Erim Eye Care before you send the authorization.

Making sure your fax lands with the right staff at Erim Eye Care

Good labeling is the difference between a same-day match and a stalled document at Erim Eye Care. Attach the signed release or consent when the fax is a records request or a decision document. That routing detail is what ties the document to the correct staff at Erim Eye Care.

Faxing to Erim Eye Care — 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's Business plan at $79.99/month is HIPAA-compliant and suited to patient records sent to Erim Eye Care. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.

Get it from the office itself rather than an old listing, since a practice's numbers change. Check Erim Eye Care's patient or referring-provider instructions, then verify the line by phone. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong hands. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.

Release of information begins with a signed release request to the records staff. Ask Erim Eye Care where the signed release should go. Name the records and the exam date so staff can pull them without a follow-up. Once processed, Erim Eye Care releases the records to you or the party you named.

Most likely one — a practice like Erim Eye Care keeps a single front-office fax more often than a bank of lines. A referral and a records request can land with different staff at Erim Eye Care. A quick call to Erim Eye Care settles the number and the desk. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.

An exam at Erim Eye Care produces a report, imaging results, and sometimes a referral, each faxed to the office that needs it. Get the current fax from Erim Eye Care directly. Send the report and its imaging as one PDF so they stay together. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
