How faxes route inside Froedtert Hospital
A academic medical center the size of Froedtert Hospital assigns its own fax to each department. Central records and the individual programs do not share a receiving line. So the first step is naming the office you actually need before you send.
Where the Froedtert Hospital fax number actually comes from
Because Froedtert Hospital routes faxes by office, the number you need is the one the receiving team publishes. Reach the specific Froedtert Hospital program by phone and confirm the fax it uses today. That one confirmation call is what keeps the documents out of the wrong queue.

Faxing to Froedtert Hospital — FAQ
No. Documents go to different fax lines at Froedtert Hospital depending on the office. What you send to Health Information Management will not reach the physician referral office. Ask for the department you actually need to get the right number. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. On the cover sheet, name Health Information Management or the receiving clinic so it lands with the right team. That routing detail is what lets Froedtert Hospital reconnect the documents if they separate. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
The machines accept faxes around the clock; staff processing depends on the department. Records and referral offices work weekday business hours. Time-critical documents are handled around the clock by the clinical teams. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.
It can be, with the right service. 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 charts sent to Froedtert Hospital. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
A hospital-to-hospital transfer to Froedtert Hospital does go by fax. It goes to the transfer center or the accepting service, not central records. Call Froedtert Hospital to reach the transfer line and send the clinical summary and orders 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.
