Faxing a transfer of care from Minnesota Birth Center
A transfer from Minnesota Birth Center — non-emergent for a risk factor, or during labor — carries the prenatal record and the reason for transfer so the OB or hospital picks up care with the full history. Send the prenatal record, the reason for transfer, and the current findings together so the receiving office has the full picture. Flag an urgent transfer on the cover sheet so it is not treated as routine.
When a client transfers care to Minnesota Birth Center
Because a pregnancy is dated and tracked from the first visit, Minnesota Birth Center receives faxed prenatal records — the LMP or dating, the labs to date, and any ultrasound — when a client transfers in. A complete transfer in one fax means the midwife is not chasing missing history before the next visit. Put the client's name and due date on every page so the record is matched.
Keeping records to Minnesota Birth Center HIPAA-compliant
Anything with a client's prenatal record, ultrasound, or newborn screen headed to Minnesota Birth Center is protected data under HIPAA. The rules turn on using a secure, compliant service rather than a public or ad-supported one. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so PHI headed to Minnesota Birth Center travels over a compliant channel instead of a shared machine.
Faxing to Minnesota Birth Center — FAQ
Incoming faxes to Minnesota Birth Center are received across the office's business hours, but processing of routine documents keeps to office hours. Front-desk coverage tracks the clinic's prenatal-visit hours, and a midwife is on call for labor. A records release sent after hours is picked up the next business day. A quick call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive page.
Faxing records to Minnesota Birth Center is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. The risk is not the fax itself but an unsecured tool, so a free app or a public machine will not do. Send FAX Mail's Business plan at $79.99/month is HIPAA-compliant and suited to patient records sent to Minnesota Birth Center. A secure send protects both you and the family whose record it is.
Get it from the office itself rather than an old listing, since a practice's numbers change. The client's prior provider or the referring office often already has the correct Minnesota Birth Center fax on file. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong hands. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.
Release of information begins with a signed release request to the records staff. Minnesota Birth Center verifies your identity before releasing the record. Include the client's name, date of birth, and the dates of care and record types. Turnaround depends on the request; routine copies are handled in the order received.
