UCSF Medical Center Fax Number — Send Medical Records and Referrals

UCSF Medical Center, anchored at its Parnassus and Mission Bay campuses in San Francisco, distributes incoming faxes across department-specific numbers instead of one switchboard line. Records, referrals, pre-authorizations, and prescription renewals each tend to have their own intake, so the correct fax depends on the clinic or office you are trying to reach. Verify the department's number before sending anything with patient information on it.

What You Can Fax to UCSF Medical Center

  • Medical records and patient history
  • Physician referral forms
  • Insurance pre-authorization requests

Tip: Every page should show the patient's full name, date of birth, and medical record number so UCSF can attach the fax to the right chart. Protected health information should move over a HIPAA-compliant service like Send FAX Mail, not a standard line. Adding the receiving department or the specific physician to the cover page helps your fax route correctly across UCSF's Parnassus and Mission Bay sites.
