The records-release path at Friendship Dental Care
A records transfer to or from Friendship Dental Care moves the clinical chart, the radiographs, the periodontal charting, and the medication list to the new dentist. A complete record includes the clinical chart, the X-rays, the periodontal charting, and the current medications. Send the authorization complete and signed, since a missing signature is the usual reason a transfer stalls.
Faxing a treatment plan to a dental plan for Friendship Dental Care
A general group like Friendship Dental Care builds a treatment plan and a pre-treatment estimate, then sends a pre-authorization to the dental plan when the case is larger. The plan verifies the member and the documentation before it approves or prices the case. Ask Friendship Dental Care whether the office files the pre-authorization directly so you know what is still on you.
Faxing PHI to Friendship Dental Care securely
Because these documents contain PHI, the channel you send them over matters as much as the number itself. A free consumer fax app is the wrong channel for PHI; a dental chart belongs on an encrypted, secure connection. With Send FAX Mail you fax Friendship Dental Care from a phone or laptop over an encrypted, HIPAA-eligible connection; the Professional plan is $39.99/month, and a 7-day free trial lets you try it first.
Faxing to Friendship Dental Care — FAQ
Dental records are protected health information, and a dental group is a HIPAA covered entity. Your signature on a HIPAA release is what starts the transfer. That means sending it over an encrypted connection rather than a public machine.
Increasingly, parts of the process at Friendship Dental Care move online. Many claims and pre-authorizations now move through a clearinghouse such as DentalXChange rather than fax. Check the group's instructions first; if fax is accepted, this page shows how to send it cleanly. Confirming the channel first is the honest shortcut with Friendship Dental Care.
The current line comes from the group itself, so ask the front office for it. Call Friendship Dental Care and ask the group's front office or records team for the current office fax. That one verification keeps a dental record out of the wrong hands. Note the number the first time so a later fax to Friendship Dental Care is quicker.
A records release, a set of X-rays, and a pre-authorization request are the documents sent most. A previous office might send new-patient records when a patient transfers into the group. Send each as one complete, legible fax so nothing is missing when staff review it. Most of these are a few pages, so they fax quickly once you have the line.
