Wound Med Fax Number — Offloading and DME Orders
Need to fax an offloading or DME order from Wound Med? A total-contact cast, an offloading boot, or a support surface is ordered and faxed to the DME supplier — this page shows how it moves. Located in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Wound Med is an amputation-prevention and limb-preservation center serving patients with diabetic-foot wounds and their referring providers in the industrial Midwest. Because an order carries protected health information, this guide covers both where to send it and how to keep the transmission compliant.
Wound Med Fax Number
Reach the Wound Med staff who coordinate the vascular and podiatry team and confirm the fax first
Hours: The center's posted hours track its clinic schedule, so a fax to the front desk lands while patients are being seen; referral and authorization paperwork, though, moves during weekday business hours.

Faxing an offloading or negative-pressure order from Wound Med
A negative-pressure wound-therapy order from Wound Med is faxed to the DME supplier with the wound assessment so the device and supplies are set up. Name the patient and the ordering provider on the cover sheet so the supplier can process it. Send the order and its documentation as one PDF so they stay together.
Faxing a referral to Wound Med
A referral for a non-healing wound at Wound Med starts the chart: the referring provider faxes the history, the wound description, and any imaging so the center can prepare for the visit. Name the patient, the referring provider, and the wound location on every page so intake can match it to the right chart. Keep the confirmation so the referring office shows the referral was transmitted.
Faxing PHI to Wound Med the compliant way
A referral, a wound-assessment note, and photo documentation are protected health information, so how you fax them to Wound Med matters as much as the number. A consumer fax app is not enough; the channel needs to be encrypted and HIPAA-compliant. With Send FAX Mail you send from a phone or computer over a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted connection — Professional is $39.99/month and Business $79.99/month — appropriate for records sent to Wound Med.
Faxing to Wound Med — FAQ
Wound Med faxes the DME order and, when required, the payer documentation to the supplier. Providing the supplier's fax speeds setup of the device. The order names the device, the wound diagnosis, and the documentation the supplier needs for coverage. A brief call helps the supplier watch for the order.
Include the identifiers staff use to match a chart: the patient's name, date of birth, and referring provider. State the specific staff the fax is for — referral, authorization, or records — on the cover sheet. Attach the signed release or authorization when the fax is a records request or an authorization packet. Clear labeling is what keeps a multi-page document together at Wound Med.
Wound Med keeps outpatient weekday hours, so the front desk can receive a fax during the clinic day, but the staff who process referrals and records work standard business hours. A wound-care center is staffed across the clinic day. Send routine referral and records faxes during weekday hours so they are worked promptly. A quick call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive page.
