Henry Ford Health Fax Number — Records, Referrals, and Authorizations

Henry Ford Health is a Detroit-based system with hospitals and clinics across metro Detroit and southeast Michigan. Across its hospitals, medical centers, and specialty practices, records requests are handled by the health information management office of the individual facility rather than one shared Henry Ford fax line. The number you need is printed on the authorization form the facility returns, shown for that location in your Henry Ford MyChart account, or provided when you call the campus's medical records desk. Because a Henry Ford imaging center and its hospital HIM office use different lines, verify the number against the exact department you're sending to.

What You Can Fax to Henry Ford Health

  • Medical records and discharge summaries
  • Physician and specialist referral forms
  • Prior-authorization and pre-certification requests
  • Prescription and medication renewal requests
  • Lab, pathology, and imaging results
Tip: Every faxed page is protected health information, so use a HIPAA-eligible service instead of a shared machine; Send FAX Mail's Business plan at $79.99/month is built for that and returns a delivery confirmation you can file. Write the patient's full legal name, date of birth, and Henry Ford medical record number on every page, not just the cover, so nothing is lost if the set is split during scanning. Name the receiving Henry Ford department on the cover so staff route it without calling you back.

Faxing to Henry Ford Health — FAQ

Henry Ford handles release-of-information at the facility level, so the hospital or clinic that treated the patient is the right destination. Some larger campuses process records for their attached clinics, but you should confirm with the specific location rather than assuming one central number covers everything.

For routine requests, a faxed authorization to the facility HIM office is usually completed within several business days. If the need is urgent, such as an imminent transfer or surgery, mark it clearly on the cover sheet, call the HIM office to flag it, and fax to the clinical unit's line when directed rather than the standard records queue.

MyChart lets patients view results and share select documents electronically, and Henry Ford participates in electronic health-record exchange with many providers. Even so, a complete legal record set for an outside insurer, attorney, or non-connected provider typically still moves by a faxed authorization to the facility's HIM office.

Include the patient's full name, date of birth, Henry Ford MRN if known, and the specific dates or type of care you need. Attach the patient-signed authorization and a return fax number so the HIM office can verify the request and send copies straight back without extra correspondence.
