How coverage and authorizations move at Rushford

Benefits and authorization paperwork at Rushford is handled by the utilization-review team, not the records desk. Note the authorization or reference number on the cover sheet so the review is matched to the right case. Address the cover sheet to the utilization-review and benefits team so it is not misrouted to clinical records.

Referring into Rushford

Getting a patient admitted to Rushford runs through the intake team, apart from the medical-records and release-of-information office.

Faxing to Rushford — FAQ

Faxes reach Rushford whenever you send, but when they are handled varies by team. The teams that handle records and authorizations keep standard weekday hours. Little routine paperwork is processed on weekends or holidays. A brief follow-up call confirms an urgent fax to Rushford was seen.

It is, provided your fax service encrypts the pages in transit. A person's assessment and treatment history are protected health information — and often 42 CFR Part 2 records — so a free app or a shared office machine is the wrong channel. On Send FAX Mail you send from your phone or computer over an encrypted connection — safer for records to Rushford than a public machine. Choose the secure channel first, then confirm the number for Rushford.

The right number depends on which team should receive the document. Call Rushford and ask for the admissions and intake team or the records office, whichever you are reaching. Keep the working number with the case file for next time. Note the number the first time so the next fax to Rushford is quicker.

Fax still works for many Rushford documents, but admissions increasingly go through a portal. The specific team or the request instructions usually state whether fax or a portal is expected. Match the document to the channel Rushford wants, and it lands with the right desk the first time. Confirming the channel first is the honest shortcut with Rushford.

An admissions packet goes to the intake team, which screens for the right level of care. Attach the clinical summary and the consent so intake can act. Confirm the admissions fax first, and ask whether Rushford takes referrals by portal instead. Name the receiving team on the cover sheet so it is not misrouted. That keeps the request moving without a second round trip.
