Nola Birth Center Fax Number — Newborn Records and Screens
Sending a newborn record or the state newborn screen from Nola Birth Center to a pediatrician? After a birth, the baby's record and screening results go to the medical home — this page shows how. Nola Birth Center is a freestanding birth center in New Orleans, Louisiana, providing midwife-led prenatal care, labor, and birth for low-risk pregnancies, with newborn care and postpartum follow-up in the Gulf Coast. Because a newborn's records are protected health information, this guide covers both where to send them and how to keep the transmission compliant.
Nola Birth Center Fax Number
Confirm the right fax with Nola Birth Center; the records line may differ from the referral or billing desk
Hours: A birth center runs prenatal clinics on weekdays and keeps a midwife on call for labor, so the machine receives faxes across business hours; the records and billing staff who answer authorizations still keep standard weekday hours.

The prenatal transfer Nola Birth Center receives
Because a pregnancy is dated and tracked from the first visit, Nola Birth Center receives faxed prenatal records — the LMP or dating, the labs to date, and any ultrasound — when a client transfers in. Flag anything the prior provider was following — a positive screen, say — so the midwife picks it up. Confirm Nola Birth Center's current records fax before the prior office sends the chart.
