Family Sleep Services Fax Number

Call Family Sleep Services and ask for records, scheduling, or the authorization desk depending on your document

Hours: A sleep practice is staffed through the clinic day and overnight in the lab, so the machine receives faxes across business hours; the records and authorization staff who answer prior authorizations still keep standard weekday hours.

What You Can Fax to Family Sleep Services

  • A titration-study order to set the pressure on a CPAP or BiPAP
  • The interpreted sleep-study report returned to the referring physician
  • A PAP-adherence (compliance) report a payer requires for continued coverage
  • A signed release of information for a copy of the sleep record
  • A referral from a primary care physician for suspected sleep apnea, loud snoring, or daytime sleepiness
Tip: Put the patient's name and date of birth on each page so Family Sleep Services can match it cleanly. Direct the cover sheet to records, the front desk, or a provider at Family Sleep Services, with a callback number for questions. Group the pages into a single fax and hold onto the confirmation in case you need to prove it arrived.

Getting a sleep referral to Family Sleep Services

Because a sleep evaluation usually starts with a referral, Family Sleep Services receives faxed referrals naming the symptom — snoring, witnessed apnea, insomnia, or fatigue — and the referring physician. A complete referral in one fax means the office is not chasing missing history before it can book the study. Keep the confirmation so the referring office knows the referral arrived.

Sleep-study orders and reports at Family Sleep Services

When Family Sleep Services arranges a sleep study, the order and the patient's history go to the lab, and the scored, physician-interpreted report is faxed back so the diagnosis reaches the chart. The interpreted report states the apnea-hypopnea index and the diagnosis so the office can plan therapy. Keep the confirmation so the case shows the study report was returned.

Faxing to Family Sleep Services — FAQ

Typically a single front-desk fax, occasionally a separate records or authorization line. Even so, a referral, a study order, and a records request may go to different staff on that one line. Check with Family Sleep Services so the fax reaches the right person. Which line is right depends on the request, not the office as a whole.

A sleep practice like Family Sleep Services routinely receives faxed referrals for snoring, witnessed apnea, or daytime sleepiness. Providing the exact fax speeds the referral to the right desk at Family Sleep Services. Nothing about the reason for the visit is lost between offices when the referral is complete. Send the referral and its attachments as one PDF so nothing is separated.

Ask at your visit, and Family Sleep Services faxes the study result to your physician. The more exact the destination, the faster the receiving office files it. Nothing about the study is lost between offices when the report is sent. Ask Family Sleep Services to note the destination on the cover sheet so it routes cleanly.

Include the identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name and date of birth. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Family Sleep Services desk and include a number staff can call. With identifiers and destination clear, nothing gets misrouted. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.

Family Sleep Services handles the sleep study and PAP setup and sends the report on for continuity, since a sleep-apnea diagnosis matters to the physician managing your other conditions. Give Family Sleep Services your doctor's current fax so the report reaches the right office. Keep the confirmation until the report is acknowledged. A brief call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive fax. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
