Faxing to Stanford Hospital — FAQ
Stanford Hospital does not publish a single fax for the whole hospital. What you send to Health Information Management will not reach the physician referral office. Ask for the department you actually need to get the right number. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
At minimum, the patient's name, date of birth, and medical record number belong on each page. On the cover sheet, name Health Information Management or the receiving clinic so it lands with the right team. That routing detail is what lets Stanford Hospital reconnect the documents if they separate. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
You can send to Stanford Hospital any time, though routine paperwork is worked during business hours. Records and referral offices work weekday business hours. Time-critical documents are handled around the clock by the clinical teams. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.
Yes, when the transport is compliant. The risk is not the fax itself but an unsecured tool, so a free app or a public machine will not do. Send FAX Mail's Business plan at $79.99/month is HIPAA-compliant and suited to charts sent to Stanford Hospital. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
Transfers are handled by fax, but not through general records. The transfer center owns that line, separate from records requests.
