Wound Care Docs Fax Number
Call Wound Care Docs and ask whether referrals, records, or the wound center should receive your document
Hours: A wound-care and hyperbaric center runs a weekday outpatient schedule, so the machine receives faxes across that window; the staff who work referrals, prior authorizations, and records still keep standard business hours.

How a hyperbaric authorization packet moves from Wound Care Docs
Because hyperbaric oxygen is a covered benefit only for specific indications, Wound Care Docs faxes the prior-authorization documentation — diagnosis, Wagner grade, and conservative-care record — to the insurer before treatment begins. Name the patient, the referring physician, and the diagnosis so the payer can match the authorization. Confirm the receiving fax — the payer's authorization team or the referring physician — with Wound Care Docs before you send.
Referrals for a wound to Wound Care Docs
A referral for a non-healing wound at Wound Care Docs starts the chart: the referring provider faxes the history, the wound description, and any imaging so the center can prepare for the visit. Include the history, the current medications, and any relevant labs or vascular studies so the wound team can triage the referral. Send the referral and its attachments as one PDF so nothing is separated.

Faxing to Wound Care Docs — FAQ
Faxing wound records to Wound Care Docs is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. An unsecured machine in an open office cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Wound Care Docs. Handled that way, the records stay within the rules end to end.
Get it from the center itself rather than an old listing, since a center's numbers change. Call Wound Care Docs and ask for referral intake, the authorization coordinator, or records. Keep the working number with the patient's chart for next time. Note the number the first time so the next fax to Wound Care Docs is quicker.
Send a signed release form to the staff who manage the wound-care record at Wound Care Docs. Wound Care Docs will tell you where to fax or upload the completed form. Name the records and the dates so staff can pull them without a follow-up. They release the copies to the recipient you named after processing.
Most likely one — a center like Wound Care Docs keeps a single front-office fax more often than a bank of lines. Which staff member should receive it still depends on your document — a referral, an authorization, or a record. A quick call to Wound Care Docs settles the number and the desk. Sending to the wrong desk only delays the document.
Because Wound Care Docs is hospital-based, referral intake and medical records are often separate lines, so confirm which one fits your document. Confirm the destination fax with Wound Care Docs for each recipient before you send. Keep the confirmation until each recipient acknowledges it. A brief call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive fax. The result is a clean hand-off to the right staff at Wound Care Docs.
