No. Research Medical Center routes faxes to separate department lines, so medical records and physician referrals do not share a number. What you send to medical records will not reach physician referrals. Ask for the department you actually need to get the right number. Which line is right depends on the office, not the hospital as a whole.
Include the three identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name, date of birth, and medical record number. On the cover sheet, name medical records or the receiving clinic so it lands with the right team. That routing detail is what lets Research Medical Center reconnect the documents if they separate. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
You start with a signed records-release form to the records office. Ask Research Medical Center where the completed form should go. Once processed, they release the records to you or the party you named. Put the patient identifiers on every page so it is matched cleanly. The result is a clean hand-off to the right team at Research Medical Center.
