Faxing to Suburban Hospital — FAQ

The current line comes from Suburban Hospital directly, since department numbers change. Check Suburban Hospital's medical-records page, then verify the line by phone. A quick check beats faxing PHI to a number that has moved. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this sensitive.
No, and that trips people up. As a community hospital, it splits incoming faxes across medical records and the individual clinics. Verify the current fax for physician referrals or your target department first. Which line is right depends on the office, not the hospital as a whole.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Suburban Hospital department and include a number staff can call. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Suburban Hospital. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
You start with a signed records-release form to the records office. The records office confirms the fax or upload destination. After review, the records go to you or whoever you designated. Name the receiving office on the cover sheet so it is not misrouted. The result is a clean hand-off to the right team at Suburban Hospital.
