What You Can Fax to Lifescape

  • Referral forms from your child's provider

  • Insurance prior-authorization requests

Tip: Every page should carry the patient's full name, date of birth, and medical record number so nothing is orphaned at Lifescape.

How a referral reaches Lifescape

Referrals and transfers to Lifescape route to intake, not to central records. A prior-authorization request pairs the clinical justification with the insurance details. Confirm the program line with Lifescape, since referral numbers change with reorganizations.

Why the office matters more than the number at Lifescape

Lifescape does not run a single hospital-wide fax line. What you send to records will not arrive at the clinic unless the number matches. So the first step is naming the office you actually need before you send.

Keeping records to Lifescape HIPAA-compliant

Patient records are protected health information, so how you fax them to Lifescape matters. HIPAA permits faxing PHI over a compliant, encrypted service — not a shared office machine or a free app. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so PHI headed to Lifescape travels over a compliant channel instead of a fax machine in a shared office.

Faxing to Lifescape — FAQ

Lifescape does not publish a single fax for the whole hospital. Records, referrals, and prior authorization each keep their own line. 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. Add a cover sheet addressed to the specialty clinic you are reaching at Lifescape with your callback number. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.

You can send to Lifescape any time, though routine paperwork is worked during business hours. Administrative offices keep a Monday-to-Friday schedule. A records request sent overnight is picked up the next business day, while urgent items go straight to the units. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.

It can be, with the right service. HIPAA turns on using a compliant, encrypted service rather than a public one. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA starting at $39.99/month — safer for PHI headed to Lifescape than a public machine. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
