Hope Healthcare Fax Number — Send Physician and Comfort-Care Orders
Need to fax physician orders, a comfort-kit order, or a DME request to Hope Healthcare? Those go to the hospice care team that manages the patient's comfort, not a general fax line. Hope Healthcare, a nonprofit community hospice in Fort Myers, Florida, is a community-based nonprofit hospice and receives clinical documents by fax every day. Because these documents carry patient health information, this guide covers both where to send them and how to keep the transmission compliant.

Durable medical equipment orders at Hope Healthcare
A DME order for Hope Healthcare routes to the hospice care team, which arranges delivery with the equipment vendor. The hospice covers equipment related to the terminal diagnosis as part of the plan of care, so the order names the item and the clinical need. Address the cover sheet to the hospice care team so the equipment order is not treated as routine paperwork.
HIPAA and your fax to Hope Healthcare
Faxing PHI to Hope Healthcare is allowed, but the service you use has to protect it. A consumer fax app is not enough; the channel needs to be encrypted and HIPAA-compliant. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month, with the Business plan at $79.99/month for higher volume — a safer route for records going to Hope Healthcare than a public machine.
