Faxing an offloading or negative-pressure order from Wound Care Service
Offloading and support-surface orders are a routine outbound fax at Wound Care Service: a total-contact cast, an offloading boot, a specialty mattress, or a negative-pressure device is ordered and the prescription is faxed to the DME supplier. A clear order — the device, the duration, and the supporting notes — is what a DME supplier can act on. Flag an urgent offloading need so the device is set up quickly.
Sending a wound referral to Wound Care Service
A referral for a non-healing wound at Wound Care Service starts the chart: the referring provider faxes the history, the wound description, and any imaging so the center can prepare for the visit. Attach clear wound photos and the wound's location and duration so the center can prioritize scheduling. Put the patient's identifiers and the referring provider on every page.
The secure way to fax Wound Care Service
A fax to Wound Care Service that carries a diagnosis, wound photos, or a test result is PHI and belongs on a secure channel. A shared machine in an open office cannot promise the confidentiality the rules expect. On Send FAX Mail, HIPAA coverage is included from the $39.99/month Professional tier up, and every page to Wound Care Service is encrypted in transit with a delivery confirmation.
Faxing to Wound Care Service — FAQ
Send a signed release form to the staff who manage the wound-care record at Wound Care Service. Wound Care Service routes the request to the staff who pull the record. Include the patient's name, date of birth, and the service dates and record types. Once processed, Wound Care Service releases the records to you or the party you named.
Often just one center line, though a busier practice may split referral intake and records onto separate lines. Even so, a referral, an authorization packet, and a records request may go to different staff on that one line. Ask Wound Care Service which line fits your document to be sure. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's chart so you are not searching next time.
Yes — a referral with the patient's history, medications, and wound photos is the routine first step, faxed to the center's intake. Give Wound Care Service the referral on its intake line so it is not sent to a stale number. Intake needs the history and photos, and the faxed referral provides them. A quick follow-up call confirms the referral was received if the wound is urgent.
Yes, and it usually goes out after the visit so the referring office can track progress. Providing the referring provider speeds the assessment to the right desk. Clear photos and dimensions are what let a referring provider judge whether the wound is healing. A follow-up call confirms the office received an assessment on a worsening wound.
Wound Care Service takes referrals for chronic and diabetic wounds, faxes wound-assessment notes and photos to referring providers, and faxes offloading and home-health orders to suppliers and agencies. Confirm the destination fax with Wound Care Service for each recipient before you send. Send a packet and its photos as one PDF so the pages stay together. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. It is a small step that saves a follow-up call later.
