Minnesota Spine Fax Number — Send a Pain-Clinic Referral
Minnesota Spine opens a case once the referring office faxes the consult request, the diagnosis, and the imaging; here is how to send it. As a spine and pain clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Minnesota Spine coordinates spine-focused pain care — evaluation and treatment of back and neck pain through injections, procedures, and coordinated non-surgical management for patients with back, neck, and spine-related pain across the upper Midwest. Because a referral carries protected health information, this guide covers both where to send it and how to keep the transmission compliant.

Getting a referral on file at Minnesota Spine
Before an evaluation, Minnesota Spine needs the referral, the reason for the consult, and often the imaging, and those are faxed over from the referring office. Include the patient's insurance and contact details so the clinic can verify benefits and schedule. Confirm Minnesota Spine's referral-intake fax before the office sends the consult.
Why Minnesota Spine needs the MRI report
Minnesota Spine plans injections and procedures around what the imaging shows, so an MRI report is one of the first documents it needs on file. Send the imaging report with the referral so the referring physician, orthopedic surgeon, or neurosurgeon's request and the findings arrive together. Keep the confirmation so you know the report reached Minnesota Spine.
Keeping a fax to Minnesota Spine compliant

Yes — HIPAA permits faxing pain-clinic records once the sending channel is secured and encrypted. Sending PHI by fax is accepted; what must be secured is the tool that moves the referral, the imaging, or the agreement. On Send FAX Mail, HIPAA coverage begins at the Professional tier ($39.99/month), encrypting a referral, imaging, or agreement sent to Minnesota Spine. A secured send protects the patient whose pain-clinic record it is as much as it protects you.
