Faxing to Wound Care United — FAQ

Get it from the center itself rather than an old listing, since a center's numbers change. A larger center may take some documents through a records office, so confirm Wound Care United still accepts fax for your request. A quick check beats faxing PHI to a number that has moved. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.
Release of information begins with a signed release request to the records staff. Wound Care United routes the request to the staff who pull the record. A complete request — identifiers, dates, and records wanted — moves fastest. Once processed, Wound Care United releases the records to you or the party you named.
Most likely one — a center like Wound Care United keeps a single front-office fax more often than a bank of lines. Even so, a referral, an authorization packet, and a records request may go to different staff on that one line. Verify the working fax with Wound Care United first, since a center's numbers change. Keep the confirmed number with the patient's chart so you are not searching next time.
