Faxing to The Children's Hospital of Alabama — FAQ
The Children's Hospital of Alabama does not publish a single fax for the whole hospital. What you send to medical records will not reach the specialty clinic you are reaching. Verify the current fax for the specialty clinic you are reaching or your target department first. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's file so you are not searching next time.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. Note the target office — medical records, a clinic, or prior authorization — on the cover sheet. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached The Children's Hospital of Alabama. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
You can send to The Children's Hospital of Alabama any time, though routine paperwork is worked during business hours. Processing at medical records generally runs Monday through Friday during business hours. Send routine requests early in the day for same-day handling; emergencies are actioned immediately. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.
It can be, with the right service. 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 encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA starting at $39.99/month — safer for PHI headed to The Children's Hospital of Alabama than a public machine. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.
