Getting orders to the hospice care team at Hospice Atlanta
Medication and comfort-care orders for Hospice Atlanta patients are handled by the clinical team, apart from intake. A durable medical equipment order — a hospital bed, oxygen, or a wheelchair — is coordinated with the DME vendor on receipt. Address the cover sheet to the hospice care team so the order reaches the nurse.

Faxing to Hospice Atlanta — FAQ
Hospice Atlanta does not publish a single fax for the whole organization. Each office — records, admissions, the hospice care team — answers a different fax. Identify the destination before sending so nothing is misrouted. Sending to the wrong line only delays the paperwork for a patient and family who need it.
Put the patient's full name, date of birth, and medical record number on every page. State the specific Hospice Atlanta office the fax is for on the cover sheet. With identifiers and destination clear, nothing gets misrouted. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.
Faxes reach Hospice Atlanta whenever you send, but when they are handled varies by office. Routine records and intake are staffed on weekdays. Urgent referrals and comfort-care orders reach the on-call clinician at any hour regardless of the office schedule. A brief follow-up call confirms an urgent fax to Hospice Atlanta was seen.
