Faxing to Free by the Sea — FAQ
No. Free by the Sea keeps separate faxes for admissions, benefits, and records, so there is no one central number. The line for the medical-records and release-of-information office is separate from the one for admissions. Verify the current fax for the admissions and intake team or the records office first. Keep the confirmed number with the case file so you are not searching next time.
Label each page with the person's name, date of birth, and record number. Note the target team — the admissions and intake team, records, or the utilization-review and benefits team — on the cover sheet. With identifiers and destination clear, nothing gets misrouted. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
The fax lines accept pages around the clock; staff processing depends on the team. Admissions often runs extended hours, while the medical-records and release-of-information office keeps a weekday schedule. Routine requests follow the normal queue rather than jumping ahead. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the team is fully staffed.
