What You Can Fax to Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center

  • Radiograph, ultrasound, CT, or MRI imaging reports
  • Prior lab and diagnostic results (IDEXX or Antech)
  • Biopsy, cytology, and pathology reports
  • Cardiology, oncology, or neurology consult notes
  • The problem list and reason for referral
Tip: Put your pet's name and species, and your own name, on every page so Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center can match documents that get separated.

Verify fax is still the accepted channel, send multi-page documents as one PDF, and keep the transmission receipt for your records.

The prescription-approval path at Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center

Filling a pet's prescription often needs Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center to authorize the refill, whether the medication comes from the clinic, a human pharmacy, or an online pet pharmacy. Many clinics now take refill requests through a portal or an app, so fax is not always the channel the pharmacy uses. Include the pet's name, the medication, and the prescribing veterinarian on the request.

Keep a copy of the request, and note the date, in case the clinic needs to confirm it arrived.

Faxing to Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center — FAQ

The line accepts faxes around the clock; when staff process them depends on the clinic schedule. The records desk keeps daytime hours even when the fax line is always on. A time-sensitive referral should go ahead of the appointment, not the morning of. Confirm receipt of a referral rather than assuming it was matched.

The privacy of a pet's records is handled differently from a person's. Your signed authorization is what lets Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center share the record, under state veterinary rules. In practice, you sign a release and Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center forwards the record to the veterinarian you name.

Fax still works for many documents at Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center, but not for every one. Some clinics accept a records release by fax but ask that imaging come through a link. When fax is the right channel, a secure online fax gets it there without a machine. Guessing the channel is a common reason a document has to be resent.

Get it from Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center directly rather than an old online listing, since clinic numbers change. Check Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center's contact or referral page, then verify the line by phone and confirm fax is still accepted. Keep the working number with your records for next time. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.

Your primary veterinarian sends a referral form and the pet's history to Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center ahead of the visit. Confirm whether Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center takes the packet by fax or through a referring-veterinarian portal. Include the recent labs and imaging so the specialist can prepare. Name the document and the desk on the cover sheet so it is not misrouted. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
