Faxing to Maria Fareri Children's Hospital — FAQ
Every page should carry the patient's full name, date of birth, and record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Maria Fareri Children's Hospital department and include a number staff can call. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
Incoming faxes to Maria Fareri Children's Hospital are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not always immediate. The offices that handle referrals and records keep standard weekday hours. 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.
Faxing records to Maria Fareri Children's Hospital is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. A consumer app is not enough; the channel has to be encrypted and compliant, which rules out shared office machines. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Maria Fareri Children's Hospital. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
Get it from the office that will receive the document rather than an old listing. Call the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital main line and ask for medical records or the clinic you are reaching. Keep the working number with the patient's file for next time. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.
A parent may fax the records, though often the pediatrician's office does it. Put the child's identifiers — name, date of birth, record number — on every page. Address the cover sheet to the specialty clinic handling the care. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. The result is a clean hand-off to the right team at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital.
