Every page should carry the patient's full name, date of birth, and record number. Note the target office — Health Information Management, a clinic, or prior authorization — on the cover sheet.

Incoming faxes to Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not always immediate.

Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.

Faxing records to Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. A consumer app is not enough; the channel has to be encrypted and compliant, which rules out shared office machines. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption from $39.99/month for faxes to Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.

Get it from the office that will receive the document rather than an old listing. Check Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center's medical-records page, then verify the line by phone. Verifying the office and the line up front is the honest shortcut. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.

Transfers are handled by fax, but not through general records. The transfer center owns that line, separate from records requests. Send the summary, orders, and recent results as one packet after confirming the line. Name the receiving office on the cover sheet so it is not misrouted. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
