  • The certification of terminal illness (CTI)
  • Physician orders and verbal-order signatures
  • Interdisciplinary group (IDG) plan-of-care updates
Tip: Mark all pages with the patient identifiers (name, date of birth, record number) that EveryStep Hospice needs to reconnect a split record.

Group the pages into a single fax and hold onto the confirmation in case you need to prove it arrived.

Faxing to EveryStep Hospice — FAQ

Faxes reach EveryStep Hospice whenever you send, but when they are handled varies by office. Administrative offices keep a Monday-to-Friday schedule. The hospice on-call line handles urgent comfort-care orders after hours. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue rather than jumping ahead.

It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. HIPAA turns on using a compliant, encrypted service rather than a public one. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month and encrypts documents in transit for records bound for EveryStep Hospice. Compliance is about how the pages travel, not only where they land at EveryStep Hospice.

The right number depends on which office should receive the document. Reach the specific EveryStep Hospice office by phone and confirm the fax it uses today. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misrouted record. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this sensitive.

File a signed authorization with medical records. EveryStep Hospice routes the request to the records staff who pull the chart. List the patient identifiers, the dates, and the exact records you want so nothing is missed. The records move once the office verifies the authorization.

Send the election statement and CTI to the hospice admissions team. Confirm the admissions fax with EveryStep Hospice before sending the referral. Include the attending physician's information and the signed certification of terminal illness. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
