What You Can Fax to The Dental Express

  • Periodontal charting and clinical narratives
  • A specialist referral with the patient's history
  • The treatment plan and current medications
  • A signed HIPAA records-release authorization
  • New-patient records requested from a prior dentist
Tip: Every page should carry the patient's name and date of birth so nothing is orphaned at The Dental Express. Direct the cover sheet to the front desk and include a phone number so staff can call with any question. Confirm the office still accepts fax before you send — some now use a records or claims portal — and keep the delivery confirmation.

How The Dental Express moves a dental record

When you switch dentists or move, The Dental Express may send or receive your full dental record so care continues without a gap. The receiving office matches the file to you by your name and date of birth, so those belong on the request. Send the authorization clearly and completely, since a missing signature is the usual reason a transfer stalls.

Faxing claim documentation to a payer for The Dental Express

The Dental Express regularly sends a predetermination of benefits with the imaging that shows why a crown, a filling, or perio treatment is needed. Include the subscriber or member ID, the tooth number, and the procedure code so the plan matches the attachment to the claim. Confirm with the payer whether it takes attachments by fax or through a clearinghouse like DentalXChange.

HIPAA and your fax to The Dental Express

Because these documents hold PHI, the channel you send them over matters as much as the number. Encryption in transit is what keeps a patient's records and identifiers out of the wrong hands. Send FAX Mail keeps every page to The Dental Express encrypted from your device to the receiving line, with plans from $12.99/month and a 7-day free trial.

Faxing to The Dental Express — FAQ

A records release, a set of X-rays, and a predetermination request are the documents most often sent. Imaging — bitewings, a panoramic film, or a CBCT — frequently travels with a referral. Whatever the document, put the patient's name and date of birth on every page. The office can tell you which documents it still needs by fax versus a portal.

Include the identifiers staff use to match a chart: the patient's name, date of birth, and the member ID on a claim. Note the document type and the patient's name on the cover sheet. That keeps the pages matched to the right chart at The Dental Express. Complete, legible details are what move the request fastest.

The Dental Express can receive a fax at any hour, but the office works the paperwork during business hours. Routine records and referrals are worked on the office's weekday schedule. A document sent overnight is picked up the next business day. A brief follow-up call confirms a time-sensitive fax to The Dental Express was seen.

The X-rays and charting The Dental Express keeps are PHI, not ordinary paperwork. Releasing them to another party runs on a signed HIPAA authorization from the patient. So send the pages over a secure, encrypted channel and confirm the destination before you fax.

Usually yes — a general practice like The Dental Express routinely sends radiographs and a narrative to support a claim. Confirm whether The Dental Express sends attachments by fax or through a clearinghouse like DentalXChange. Label the images with the patient's name and date of birth. Put the patient's name and date of birth on every page so it is matched cleanly. The result is a clean hand-off to the right desk at The Dental Express.
