The secure way to fax VNS Health
A fax to VNS Health that carries a chart is PHI and belongs on a secure channel. The rules turn on using a secure, compliant service rather than a public or ad-supported one.

Making sure your fax lands with the right team at VNS Health
Good labeling is the difference between a same-day match and a stalled record at VNS Health. Put the patient's full name, date of birth, and medical record number on every page. Send multi-page records as one combined PDF so the documents stay in order.
How to find VNS Health's current fax number
Because VNS Health routes faxes by office and branch, the number you need is the one the receiving team publishes. Many agencies now take referrals through a referral portal or a shared EHR, so confirm the branch still accepts fax. That one confirmation call is what keeps the documents out of the wrong queue.
Faxing to VNS Health — FAQ
Send a signed release form to the records staff who manage the patient's file. The office names the current fax once your request is on file. A complete request — identifiers, dates, and records wanted — moves fastest. After review, the records go to you or whoever you designated.
No. VNS Health routes faxes to separate office lines, so medical records and the referral intake office do not share a number. What you send to medical records will not reach the clinical team. Verify the current fax for the referral intake office or your target office first. A quick call to VNS Health settles which line your document should use.
Put the patient's full name, date of birth, and medical record number on every page. On the cover sheet, name medical records or the receiving office so it lands with the right team. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached VNS Health. A missing identifier is the usual reason a fax sits in a queue at VNS Health.
Faxes reach VNS Health whenever you send, but when they are handled varies by office. Records and referral intake offices work weekday business hours. Send routine requests early in the day for same-day handling; urgent orders are actioned immediately. Flag anything time-sensitive on the cover sheet so it is not treated as routine.
Orders route to the clinical team, apart from a records request. Get the working orders fax from VNS Health directly. Note the patient identifiers, the order, and a callback number for the nurse. Send the whole packet as one job so nothing arrives split. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
