Faxing to Nationwide Children's Hospital — FAQ
It can be, with the right service. 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 encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA starting at $39.99/month — safer for PHI headed to Nationwide Children's Hospital than a public machine. Handled that way, the records stay within the rules end to end.
Ask the specific Nationwide Children's Hospital office for its working fax before you send. Check Nationwide Children's Hospital's medical-records page, then verify the line by phone. A quick check beats faxing PHI to a number that has moved. Note the number the first time so the next fax to Nationwide Children's Hospital is quicker.
Not one central number. As a children's hospital, it splits incoming faxes across medical records and the individual clinics. Verify the current fax for the specialty clinic you are reaching or your target department first. Sending to the wrong line only delays the paperwork.
Include the three identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name, date of birth, and medical record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Nationwide Children's Hospital department and include a number staff can call. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Nationwide Children's Hospital. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.
A parent may fax the records, though often the pediatrician's office does it. Put the child's identifiers — name, date of birth, record number — on every page. Name the pediatric program on the cover sheet so intake can route it. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. That keeps the request moving without a second round trip.
