Faxing to Iowa City Hospice — FAQ
No. Documents go to different fax lines at Iowa City Hospice depending on the office. What you send to medical records will not reach the hospice care team. Match the office to your document, then send to that specific line. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. On the cover sheet, name medical records or the receiving office so it lands with the right team. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
Iowa City Hospice receives faxes at any hour, but the offices that process them keep set schedules. Records and admission-intake offices work weekday business hours. A records request sent overnight is worked the next business day, while urgent orders go to the on-call team. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.
Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. Faxing itself is accepted for PHI; the transport is what has to be secure. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Iowa City Hospice. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
Hospice referrals route to the admissions office, apart from a records request. Ask Iowa City Hospice for the current hospice intake line first. Send the election statement, the CTI, and the current comfort-care orders. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
