Nationwide Children's Hospital Fax Number — Send Medical Records and Referrals

Nationwide Children's Hospital, the large pediatric system based in Columbus, Ohio, takes faxes through individual departments rather than one central number. Medical records, specialty clinic referrals, and insurance pre-authorizations each route to their own line, so reaching the right desk depends on naming the department or physician you're sending to. Pediatric records carry the same HIPAA protections as adult records, which shapes how you should transmit them.
