Guide Genetics Fax Number

Check with Guide Genetics's front desk, which can route you to records or the counseling team

Hours: A genetics clinic runs scheduled counseling and evaluation appointments through the weekday, so the front desk receives a fax across a business day, while the records staff who process release requests work a narrower window.

What You Can Fax to Guide Genetics

  • A results summary and surveillance plan shared with the patient's primary care physician
  • A prior-authorization request or letter of medical necessity for genetic testing faxed to the insurer
  • A consultation note and management recommendations sent back to the referring physician
  • A cascade-testing letter sharing a proband's variant with an at-risk relative's provider
  • A signed release of information for a copy of the genetics record and test results
Tip: Label each page with the patient's full name and date of birth — those identifiers are what staff use to match a chart at Guide Genetics. Name the receiving staff — the records staff, the front desk, or the genetic counseling team — on the cover sheet, and add your callback number. Combine the documents into one job so they stay in order, and save the transmission receipt.

How records move at Guide Genetics

Records requests at Guide Genetics are handled by the records staff once a signed release naming the patient and the records is on file. Because a genetics record spans the family history, the test results, and the counseling notes, note which parts you need. Keep the confirmation so you can show the release was sent.

Labeling a fax so Guide Genetics can match it

The cover sheet does the routing work once a fax reaches Guide Genetics. Add your callback number so staff can reach you with a question instead of setting the document aside. That routing detail is what ties the document to the correct staff at Guide Genetics.

Protected genetic information and Guide Genetics

A fax to Guide Genetics that carries a genetics record, a test result, or a family history is PHI and belongs on a secure channel. A consumer fax app is not enough; the channel needs to be encrypted and HIPAA-compliant. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so PHI headed to Guide Genetics travels over a compliant channel instead of a shared machine.

Faxing to Guide Genetics — FAQ

Often just one office line, though a busier clinic may split records and the prior-auth desk onto separate lines. One number does not mean one desk — the routing is by staff, not machine. Confirm the current line and the right staff with Guide Genetics before you send. When in doubt, ask Guide Genetics for the fax by the name of the desk.

Yes — a referring physician regularly faxes the referral and the workup to Guide Genetics with the family history, any prior testing, and the reason for referral so the evaluation can start. Give the sending office Guide Genetics's current referral fax so the workup is not sent to a stale line. The referral carries the family history, any prior testing, and the reason so Guide Genetics has the full picture. That one step keeps the evaluation moving at Guide Genetics.

Family-history intake reaches Guide Genetics by fax so the visit starts with the pedigree already in hand. Providing the exact fax speeds the questionnaire to the counseling team at Guide Genetics. Include the relationship of each affected relative and the age at diagnosis so the inheritance pattern is clear to Guide Genetics. That one step lets the visit at Guide Genetics start with the pedigree ready.

A genetics clinic like Guide Genetics sends most test orders out by fax to a reference lab, since the testing is run externally.
