Faxing to South Bend Medical Foundation — FAQ
Faxes reach South Bend Medical Foundation whenever you send them, though eligibility and records work follows a business-day schedule. A center is staffed while donors are being seen. Time-sensitive orders reach the hospital-services staff while the center is open; routine paperwork waits for office hours. Flag anything urgent on the cover sheet so staff see it is time-sensitive.
Faxing donor records to South Bend Medical Foundation is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. An unsecured machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA starting at $39.99/month — safer for PHI headed to South Bend Medical Foundation than a public machine. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.

Often just one center line, though a busier operation may split donor records and hospital orders onto separate lines. Even so, an eligibility record, a deferral notice, and a hospital order may go to different staff on that one line. Verify the working fax with South Bend Medical Foundation first, since a center's numbers change. Keep the confirmed number with your file so you are not searching next time.
