Sending patient charts to Nantucket Cottage Hospital without cutting corners

A dialysis chart is protected health information, so how you fax it to Nantucket Cottage Hospital 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 Nantucket Cottage Hospital travels over a compliant channel instead of a fax machine in a shared clinic.

Faxing to Nantucket Cottage Hospital — FAQ

It is, provided your fax service is HIPAA-compliant. Faxing itself is accepted for PHI; the transport is what has to be secure. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Nantucket Cottage Hospital. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.

A number copied from a search result may be stale; Nantucket Cottage Hospital has the current one. Many clinics take referrals through a portal or a shared EHR now, so confirm Nantucket Cottage Hospital still accepts fax. Keep the working number with the patient's file for next time. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.

Start with a signed ROI form to Nantucket Cottage Hospital's records office. Nantucket Cottage Hospital routes the request to the records staff who pull the chart. Name the records and dates so the office can pull them without a follow-up. Once processed, Nantucket Cottage Hospital releases the records to you or the party you named.

No. Documents go to different fax lines at Nantucket Cottage Hospital depending on the office. Records, new-patient intake, and treatment orders 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.

Inpatient orders route to the dialysis unit, apart from an outpatient records request. Get the working unit fax from the health system's HIM office. Include the patient's location, the nephrology consult, and the current labs. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
