Where the VA Connecticut Healthcare System fax number actually comes from

Faxing to VA Connecticut Healthcare System — FAQ

VA Connecticut Healthcare System does not publish a single fax for the whole hospital. What you send to the Release of Information office will not reach the patient intake team. Confirm the correct line for the office you are reaching before you send. Which line is right depends on the office, not the hospital as a whole.

Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. On the cover sheet, name the Release of Information office or the receiving clinic so it lands with the right team. That keeps the records matched to the right chart at VA Connecticut Healthcare System. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.

You can send to VA Connecticut Healthcare System any time, though routine paperwork is worked during business hours. Records and referral offices work weekday business hours.
