What You Can Fax to Visionwest

  • A diabetic retinopathy screening report faxed back to a PCP or endocrinologist
  • A vision-plan eligibility or authorization form for VSP, EyeMed, or a similar plan
  • A comprehensive eye-exam report sent to the patient's primary care physician
  • A copy of a contact-lens prescription released to the patient or an optical retailer

Group the pages into a single fax and hold onto the confirmation in case you need to prove it arrived.

The exam report Visionwest sends to your doctor

A comprehensive exam at Visionwest produces findings a patient's regular doctor needs, so the vision report is faxed to the patient's primary care physician to keep the chart current. Send the report as one document so the findings and the recommendations stay together. Confirm the receiving fax at the patient's primary care physician's office, and the report reaches the right chart.

Diabetic eye care and the report Visionwest faxes back

When Visionwest completes a diabetic eye exam, the graded retinopathy finding is faxed to the physician coordinating the patient's diabetes so care stays closed-loop. Include the exam date and the patient's identifiers so the receiving office matches it cleanly. Confirm the physician's fax before Visionwest sends the diabetic eye-exam report.

Faxing PHI to Visionwest the compliant way

An eye-exam report and its imaging are protected health information, so how you fax them to Visionwest matters as much as the number. The rules turn on using a secure, compliant service rather than a public or ad-supported one. Send FAX Mail's Professional plan ($39.99/month) and Business plan ($79.99/month) both include HIPAA coverage and encryption for documents bound for Visionwest.

Faxing to Visionwest — FAQ

Ask Visionwest's front desk for its working fax before you send. A larger practice may take some documents through a records office, so confirm Visionwest still accepts fax for your request. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong hands. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered record and a lost one.

Submit a signed release-of-information authorization to the records staff at Visionwest. Visionwest routes the request to the staff who pull the record. Include the patient's name, date of birth, and the exam date and record types. Turnaround depends on the request; routine copies are handled in the order received.

Typically a single front-desk fax, occasionally a separate records or optical line. Even so, an exam report, a referral, and a records request may go to different staff on that one line. Ask Visionwest which line fits your document to be sure. When in doubt, ask Visionwest for the fax by the name of the desk.

An eye care office like Visionwest regularly faxes the exam report to a patient's regular doctor. Providing your doctor's office fax speeds the report to the right chart. Your regular office needs the exam details, and the faxed report provides them. That one step keeps your primary care office informed.

Continuity is coordinated by faxing the acuity, refraction, pressures, and any diagnosis from Visionwest to your primary care office. Confirm the destination fax with Visionwest before you rely on the report being sent. A follow-up call confirms your office received it if a finding is urgent. Confirm the current fax with Visionwest before you send. That keeps the request moving without a second round trip.
