Building the pedigree before a visit at Northeast Indiana Genetics

Include ages at diagnosis and the relationship of each affected relative so the inheritance pattern is clear. Confirm Northeast Indiana Genetics's current fax before the questionnaire is sent in.
How a referral reaches Northeast Indiana Genetics

Flag anything the referring provider was following — a red-flag family history, say — so the clinician picks it up. A quick call helps Northeast Indiana Genetics watch for a referred patient's record.
HIPAA and your fax to Northeast Indiana Genetics
A genetics record and a test result are protected health information — and genetic data is especially sensitive — so how you fax them to Northeast Indiana Genetics matters as much as the number. A machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules — and these sensitive records — expect. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so PHI headed to Northeast Indiana Genetics travels over a compliant channel instead of a shared machine.
