Faxing to Hospice of the Foothills — FAQ
No. Hospice of the Foothills routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the admissions and referral office do not share a number. As a nonprofit community hospice, it splits incoming faxes across medical records, intake, and the hospice care team. Identify the destination before sending so nothing is misrouted. Which line is right depends on the office, not the organization as a whole.
Put the patient's full name, date of birth, and medical record number on every page. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Hospice of the Foothills office and include a number staff can call. With identifiers and destination clear, nothing gets misrouted. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
Faxes reach Hospice of the Foothills whenever you send, but when they are handled varies by office. The offices that handle referrals and records keep standard weekday hours.

It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. A consumer app is not enough; the channel has to be encrypted and compliant, which rules out shared office machines.
