The Birth House Fax Number

Call The Birth House and ask for records, scheduling, or the billing desk depending on your document

Hours: A birth center runs prenatal clinics on weekdays and keeps a midwife on call for labor, so the machine receives faxes across business hours; the records and billing staff who answer authorizations still keep standard weekday hours.

What You Can Fax to The Birth House

  • Prior birth records and operative reports reviewed for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) candidate
  • Prenatal lab results — blood type, CBC, GBS culture, and glucose screening — from the lab
  • A postpartum summary and follow-up plan sent to the client's primary care provider
  • The newborn record and state newborn metabolic screen results sent to the baby's pediatrician
  • A signed release of information for a copy of the prenatal or birth record
Tip: Every page should carry the client's full name and date of birth so nothing is orphaned at The Birth House. Address the cover sheet to the exact staff you are reaching at The Birth House, and include a number where they can reach you. Send everything in one PDF rather than several faxes, and keep the confirmation for your records.

Collaborating with an obstetrician from The Birth House

A transfer from The Birth House — non-emergent for a risk factor, or during labor — carries the prenatal record and the reason for transfer so the OB or hospital picks up care with the full history. Name the client and the collaborating physician on the cover sheet so the consult is matched to the record. Confirm the collaborating physician's or hospital's fax before The Birth House sends the packet.

Getting a prenatal record to The Birth House

Establishing care at The Birth House usually begins with a prenatal-records transfer: the previous office faxes the pregnancy chart so the midwife can pick up care with the full history. A complete transfer in one fax means the midwife is not chasing missing history before the next visit. Send the prenatal chart and its attachments as one PDF so nothing arrives split.

The secure way to fax The Birth House

A fax to The Birth House that carries a prenatal record, a lab result, or a birth record is PHI and belongs on a secure channel. A machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. On Send FAX Mail, HIPAA coverage is included from the $39.99/month Professional tier up, and every page to The Birth House is encrypted in transit with a delivery confirmation.
