Faxing to Montgomery Hospice — FAQ
Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. 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 includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month and encrypts documents in transit for records bound for Montgomery Hospice. A secure send protects both you and the patient whose chart it is.
Get it from the office that will receive the document rather than an old listing. The discharging hospital's case manager often already has the correct Montgomery Hospice fax on file. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misrouted record. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.
Release of information begins with a signed ROI request to the records office. The office names the current fax once your request is on file. List the patient identifiers, the dates, and the exact records you want so nothing is missed. Turnaround depends on the request; routine copies are handled in the order received.
No. Montgomery Hospice routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the admissions and referral office do not share a number. What you send to medical records will not reach the hospice care team. Confirm the correct line for the office you are reaching before you send. When in doubt, ask Montgomery Hospice for the office by name.
