What You Can Fax to Southwest Genetics

  • A results summary and surveillance plan shared with the patient's primary care physician
  • A referral and workup faxed in from the referring physician when a patient establishes genetics care
  • A cascade-testing letter sharing a proband's variant with an at-risk relative's provider
  • A specialist evaluation or diagnostic imaging report faxed in to support the genetics work-up
  • A genetic test requisition sent to the reference lab ordering a hereditary-cancer, carrier, or diagnostic panel

Group the pages into a single fax and hold onto the confirmation in case you need to prove it arrived.

How to find Southwest Genetics's current fax number

An independent practice's fax number changes with staffing and phone systems, so confirm Southwest Genetics's before you send. Ask the referring physician or the reference lab, which often already has the correct Southwest Genetics fax on file. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misrouted record.

How faxes reach Southwest Genetics

A medical genetics clinic like Southwest Genetics typically keeps one or two working fax lines rather than a hospital's web of department numbers. The catch is that a single-office practice's working line moves more often than a big hospital's, so an old listing goes stale. Verify the current fax with Southwest Genetics first, and the rest is straightforward.

Faxing PHI to Southwest Genetics the compliant way

Anything with a patient's genetic test result, family history, or variant report headed to Southwest Genetics is protected data under HIPAA, with genetic information carrying added protections. Encryption in transit and a compliant provider are what keep the transmission within the rules. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so PHI headed to Southwest Genetics travels over a compliant channel instead of a shared machine.

Faxing to Southwest Genetics — FAQ

Cascade testing from Southwest Genetics moves by fax — the proband's result and the exact variant go to each relative's provider. Send the variant details and the interpretation together so the relative's provider has what they need. A relative's provider can order the targeted single-site test rather than a full panel once the variant is named. Put each person's identifiers on the pages that concern them so the records are matched.

Every page should carry the patient's full name and date of birth. Note the target — records, the counseling team, or prior-auth — on the cover sheet. Attach the signed release or consent when the fax is a records request or a decision document. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.

Incoming faxes to Southwest Genetics are received across the office's business hours, but processing of routine documents keeps to office hours. The front desk is covered whenever the office is open for appointments. Send routine records and insurance faxes during weekday hours so they are worked promptly. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue.

Faxing records to Southwest Genetics is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. A consumer app is not enough; the channel has to be encrypted and compliant, which rules out a shared machine — and genetic data is especially sensitive. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month and encrypts documents in transit for records bound for Southwest Genetics. Handled that way, the records stay within the rules end to end.

Yes — a medical genetics clinic like Southwest Genetics receives the referral and family history by fax, sends the test requisition to the reference lab, and faxes the results summary and management plan back to the referring physician. Give Southwest Genetics the correct fax for the lab or the referring physician before you rely on the record being sent. Include the patient's identifiers on every page so the record is matched. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
