What You Can Fax to SmithRx

  • Step-therapy exception forms
  • Appeals of denied coverage
  • Pharmacy claim reconsiderations
  • Formulary exception requests
  • Coverage determination requests
Tip: Every page should carry your member ID and, for a claim, the reference number so nothing is orphaned at SmithRx. State which pharmacy benefit manager department the fax is for on the cover sheet so it is routed on the first try. Confirm the department still accepts fax before you send — many now prefer a provider or member portal — and keep the delivery confirmation.

Keeping PHI to SmithRx private

Because these documents hold PHI, the channel you send them over matters as much as the number. HIPAA's Security Rule expects covered entities to protect PHI in transit, and the same care applies to how you send it in. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and keeps a confirmation of delivery — a safer route to SmithRx than a public machine, from $12.99/month.

Cover-sheet basics for faxing SmithRx

How you label the pages decides whether SmithRx can reconnect them if they get separated. Put your member ID on every page, plus the claim or reference number when there is one. Keeping the pages in one job avoids a half-received request at SmithRx.

Because SmithRx routes faxes by department, the number you need is the one the receiving team publishes. Ask the SmithRx representative on your file whether the team takes fax and what its current number is. A quick verification beats faxing sensitive pages to a number that has moved.
