Sending a hospice referral to Transitions Hospice

How the hospice election reaches Transitions Hospice
The signed election statement and the CTI for a patient of Transitions Hospice go to the admissions office that opens the benefit period. Both the hospice medical director and, initially, the attending physician sign the certification for the first benefit period. Send the election statement, the CTI, and the F2F note together so nothing arrives split.

Because these documents hold health information, the transport to Transitions Hospice has to be compliant. Encryption in transit and a compliant provider are what keep the transmission within the rules. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month, with the Business plan at $79.99/month for higher volume — a safer route for records going to Transitions Hospice than a public machine.
Faxing to Transitions Hospice — FAQ
No. Transitions Hospice routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the admissions and referral office do not share a number. As a hospice agency, it splits incoming faxes across medical records, intake, and the hospice care team. Confirm the correct line for the office you are reaching before you send. Which line is right depends on the office, not the organization as a whole.
Include the three identifiers staff use to match a chart: full name, date of birth, and medical record number. State the specific Transitions Hospice office the fax is for on the cover sheet. Attach the signed ROI authorization when the fax is a records request. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
Transitions Hospice receives faxes at any hour, but the offices that process them keep set schedules. Routine records and intake are staffed on weekdays. The hospice on-call line handles urgent comfort-care orders after hours. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue rather than jumping ahead.
Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. An unsecured machine in a shared space cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA from the Professional plan at $39.99/month and encrypts documents in transit for records bound for Transitions Hospice. Compliance is about how the pages travel, not only where they land at Transitions Hospice.
Physician and comfort-care orders go to the hospice care team that carries out the plan of care, not to intake. Confirm the clinical-team fax with Transitions Hospice before sending a time-sensitive order. Note the patient identifiers, the order, and a callback number for the on-call nurse. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
