Tracking down the correct Hospice of the Chesapeake fax

Faxing to Hospice of the Chesapeake — FAQ

No. Hospice of the Chesapeake routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the admissions and referral office do not share a number. As a hospice agency, it splits incoming faxes across medical records, intake, and the clinical team. Ask for the office you actually need to get the right number. Sending to the wrong line only delays the paperwork.

Include the three identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name, date of birth, and medical record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Hospice of the Chesapeake office and include a number staff can call. That routing detail is what lets Hospice of the Chesapeake reconnect the documents if they separate. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.

Hospice of the Chesapeake receives faxes at any hour, but the offices that process them keep set schedules. The offices that handle referrals and records keep standard weekday hours. Time-critical orders are picked up at any hour by the on-call clinician. A brief follow-up call confirms an urgent fax to Hospice of the Chesapeake was seen.

Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. A consumer app is not enough; the channel has to be encrypted and compliant, which rules out shared office machines. Send FAX Mail's Business plan at $79.99/month is HIPAA-compliant and suited to charts sent to Hospice of the Chesapeake. Handled that way, the records stay within the rules end to end.

A hospice referral and the certification of terminal illness go to the admissions and referral office. Ask Hospice of the Chesapeake for the current hospice intake line first. Send the election statement, the CTI, and the current medication and comfort-care orders. Name the receiving office on the cover sheet so it is not misrouted. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
