Faxing to Herkimer County Public Health Nursing Service — FAQ
Release of information begins with a signed ROI request to the records office. The office names the current fax once your request is on file. List the patient identifiers, the dates, and the exact records you want so nothing is missed. The records move once the office verifies the authorization.
No. Herkimer County Public Health Nursing Service routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the referral intake office do not share a number. What you send to medical records will not reach the clinical team. Confirm the correct line for the office you are reaching before you send. Which line is right depends on the office and branch, not the agency as a whole.
At minimum, the patient's name, date of birth, and medical record number belong on each page. On the cover sheet, name medical records or the receiving office so it lands with the right team. Attach the signed ROI authorization when the fax is a records request. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
You can send to Herkimer County Public Health Nursing Service any time, though routine paperwork is worked during business hours. Records and referral intake offices work weekday business hours. Time-critical orders are picked up at any hour by the on-call clinician. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue rather than jumping ahead.
Referrals route to the public-health nursing office, apart from a records request. Ask the county health department for the home care intake line first. Send the eligibility paperwork with the referral if the case is still being processed. Put the patient identifiers on every page so it is matched cleanly. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
