Sending a hospice referral to Residential Hospice
Referral and intake paperwork at Residential Hospice is handled apart from a records request. A hospice referral moves fastest when the prognosis documentation and the authorization travel with it. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show the referral went through.
Faxing the hospice election and CTI to Residential Hospice
Admitting a patient to Residential Hospice means the hospice election statement and the physician's certification of terminal illness reach the admissions and referral office. Both the hospice medical director and, initially, the attending physician sign the certification for the first benefit period. Note the attending physician and a callback number so the team can verify a question.
Sending patient charts to Residential Hospice without cutting corners
A fax to Residential Hospice that carries a chart is PHI and belongs on a secure channel. Encryption in transit and a compliant provider are what keep the transmission within the rules. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so PHI headed to Residential Hospice travels over a compliant channel instead of a fax machine in a shared office.
Faxing to Residential Hospice — FAQ
No. Residential Hospice routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the admissions and referral office do not share a number. Records, admission intake, and hospice-care orders each keep their own line. Match the office to your document, then send to that specific line. A quick call to Residential Hospice settles which line your document should use.
Every page should carry the patient's full name, date of birth, and record number. Add a cover sheet addressed to the admissions and referral office at Residential Hospice with your callback number. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. A missing identifier is the usual reason a fax sits in a queue at Residential Hospice.
Incoming faxes to Residential Hospice are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not always immediate. Administrative offices keep a Monday-to-Friday schedule. A records request sent overnight is worked the next business day, while urgent orders go to the on-call team. Flag anything time-sensitive on the cover sheet so it is not treated as routine.
Faxing records to Residential Hospice is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. Faxing itself is accepted for PHI; the transport is what has to be secure. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Residential Hospice. Choose the secure channel first, then confirm the number for Residential Hospice.
Physician and comfort-care orders go to the hospice care team that carries out the plan of care, not to intake. Ask Residential Hospice for the current clinical line first. Send the order with the plan of care so it is matched to the right benefit period. Put the patient identifiers on every page so it is matched cleanly. That keeps the referral moving without a second round trip.
