Faxing to Sentara Home Care Services — FAQ
Not one central number. As a hospital-affiliated home health agency, it splits incoming faxes across medical records, intake, and the clinical team. Match the office to your document, then send to that specific line. Which line is right depends on the office and branch, not the agency as a whole.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Sentara Home Care Services office and include a number staff can call. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
The machines accept faxes around the clock; staff processing depends on the office. The offices that handle referrals and records keep standard weekday hours. A records request sent overnight is worked the next business day, while urgent orders go to the on-call team. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue rather than jumping ahead.
It can be, with the right service. An unsecured machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Sentara Home Care Services. Compliance is about how the pages travel, not only where they land at Sentara Home Care Services.
