Faxing to Hillsborough County Developmental Center — FAQ
Get it from the facility itself rather than an old listing, since a facility's numbers change. The resident's physician or support coordinator often already has the correct Hillsborough County Developmental Center fax on file. A quick check beats faxing PHI to a number that has moved. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this sensitive.
Release of information begins with a signed release request to the records staff. Because a resident may have a guardian, Hillsborough County Developmental Center confirms the signer's authority before releasing. A complete request — identifiers, dates of service, and records wanted — moves fastest. The records move once staff verify the authorization and the signer's authority.
As a residential facility, Hillsborough County Developmental Center usually runs one working fax, with records sometimes on a second line at a larger center. One number does not mean one desk — the routing is by staff, not machine. Verify the working fax with Hillsborough County Developmental Center first, since a facility's numbers change. Which line is right depends on the request, not the facility as a whole.
Label each page with the resident's name and date of birth. On the cover sheet, name health information or the receiving staff so it lands with the right person. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Hillsborough County Developmental Center. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
A larger developmental center typically manages resident charts on-site, with the state agency involved in funding and case management for many residents. Get the current records fax from Hillsborough County Developmental Center directly rather than an old listing. Include the resident's identifiers and the dates of service on the request either way. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. That keeps the request moving without a second round trip.
