Scripps Health Fax Number — Send Medical Records and Referrals

Scripps Health, the San Diego-based system, receives medical records, physician referrals, insurance pre-authorizations, and lab and imaging results by fax across its hospitals and clinics. Each Scripps department keeps its own fax line, so records, a referral coordinator, and a specialty practice will each use a different number, and routing to the right one avoids delays inside the system.
