Faxing to Virginia Mason Medical Center — FAQ
No, and that trips people up. The line for medical records is separate from the one for referrals. Identify the destination before sending so nothing is misrouted. 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. Note the target office — medical records, a clinic, or prior authorization — on the cover sheet. With identifiers and destination clear, nothing gets misrouted. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
The machines accept faxes around the clock; staff processing depends on the department. Processing at medical records generally runs Monday through Friday during business hours. Urgent transfers and clinical faxes are received at any hour regardless of the office schedule. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue rather than jumping ahead.
It can be, with the right service. A consumer app is not enough; the channel has to be encrypted and compliant, which rules out shared office machines. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption from $39.99/month for faxes to Virginia Mason Medical Center.
