Faxing to Nationwide Patient Transport — FAQ

Get it from the agency itself rather than an old listing, since an agency's numbers change. Call Nationwide Patient Transport and ask for dispatch, records, or billing depending on your document. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong hands. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.

A records request begins with a signed release naming the patient and the transport date. The records staff confirm the fax destination for the authorization. Include the patient's name, date of birth, and the transport date and record type. Turnaround depends on the request; routine copies are handled in the order received.

Not necessarily one — an agency like Nationwide Patient Transport often separates dispatch from the records and billing office. The line is shared, but the person who works it varies by request. A quick call to Nationwide Patient Transport settles the number and the desk. That check is what gets your fax to the person who works it.

The crew documents the transport, and Nationwide Patient Transport faxes the report to the facility that received the patient. Ask Nationwide Patient Transport's records office where to send the release for a copy of the report. Give Nationwide Patient Transport the receiving facility's fax so the report is not sent to a stale line. That one step keeps the transport documented end to end.

To schedule a transport, Nationwide Patient Transport needs a trip request with the pickup, destination, time, and mobility level, plus a physician certification statement for medical necessity on a non-emergency ride. Ask Nationwide Patient Transport which line takes a trip request versus a certification. Send the request and the certification together so nothing arrives split. Put the patient identifiers on every page so it is matched cleanly. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
