Not one central number. Records, admission intake, and hospice-care orders each keep their own line. Ask for the office you actually need to get the right number. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
Send the election statement and CTI to the hospice admissions team. Ask Gulfside Hospice for the current hospice intake line first. Attach the DNR or POLST and the discharge summary for the referral. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
