What You Can Fax to VNS Westchester

  • Wound-care and skilled-nursing orders
  • Physician orders and verbal-order signatures
  • A referral from a hospital, SNF, or physician
  • Therapy (PT, OT, and speech) evaluation and orders
  • Face-to-face (F2F) encounter documentation
Tip: Put the patient's full name, date of birth, and medical record number on every page so VNS Westchester can match documents that get separated during intake.

HIPAA and your fax to VNS Westchester

A fax to VNS Westchester that carries a chart is PHI and belongs on a secure channel.

Identifiers your fax to VNS Westchester needs

Records that arrive at VNS Westchester without identifiers are the ones that get delayed. Attach the signed ROI authorization when the fax is a records request. That routing detail is what ties the record to the correct team at VNS Westchester.

Getting the working fax line for VNS Westchester

Rather than trust an old listing, get the current fax straight from VNS Westchester. Ask the discharging hospital's case manager, who often already has the correct VNS Westchester fax on file. That one confirmation call is what keeps the documents out of the wrong queue.

Faxing to VNS Westchester — FAQ

Incoming faxes to VNS Westchester are never turned away by the hour, but processing is not always immediate. Processing at medical records generally runs Monday through Friday during business hours. A records request sent overnight is worked the next business day, while urgent orders go to the on-call team. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.

Yes — HIPAA permits faxing protected health information when the channel is secure. The risk is not the fax itself but an unsecured tool, so a free app or a public machine will not do. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to VNS Westchester. The safeguard is the service you use, not the act of faxing.

Get it from the office that will receive the document rather than an old listing. Check VNS Westchester's referral or medical-records page, then verify the line by phone. Keep the working number with the patient's file for next time. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.

Release of information begins with a signed ROI request to the records office. Ask VNS Westchester where the signed release should go. Name the records and dates so the office can pull them without a follow-up. Once processed, VNS Westchester releases the records to you or the party you named.
