ScribeFax^™ and ScribeFaxCS^™
Enhanced Prescribing Clinician Fax Database^™

Most Comprehensive U.S. Clinician Fax Database

ScribeFax represents the most complete clinician fax number database, deeply mined from across the U.S. universe of physicians, dentists, physician assistants and other patient care clinicians, far beyond the limited fax coverage available in clinicians' published NPI records. ScribeFax Basic includes all of these hard-to-source clinician fax numbers, as well as practice addresses, phone numbers, and the complete U.S. database of 7.1 million healthcare provider records.

ScribeFaxCS is a step beyond, offering discounted pricing in exchange for quarterly reporting of the good and bad fax numbers. ScribeFaxCS is a crowdsourced program to develop the most accurate fax number database for U.S. patient care clinicians.

CarePrecise also offers a deeply-mined pharmacy fax database – ScriptFax. 10% will be deducted from the prices when purchasing ScribeFax and ScriptFax at the same time.

Clinician data from millions of source records, including all U.S. prescribers and primary care clinicians and specialists managing access to patient medical records, beyond the providers' own NPI records, is mined by CarePrecise to create the most comprehensive database of prescriber fax numbers available, for prescription and treatment clarifications and medical records requests. Mined data fills gaps in prescriber fax numbers, for doctors, dentists, optometrists, prescribing nurses, homeopaths, naturopaths - every healthcare provider with prescription-writing authority. ScribeFax is also effective for using fax communication to request medical records, and includes federally reported fax endpoints for this purpose.

Every HIPAA-covered drug prescriber in the U.S – approximately 2.6 million clinicians – is included in ScribeFax, and currently includes fax numbers for approximately 2 million of these in the basic ScribeFax dataset. Overall, ScribeFax contains fax numbers for more than 3.3 million provider records, representing more than 1.3 million unique fax numbers.

The complete ScribeFax database is updated monthly, with corrections and added fax numbers provided by Testing Partners in the ScribeFaxCS version. After submitting three reports during the first quarter, Testing Partners receive the full crowdsourced ScribeFaxCS® which includes crowdsourced fax numbers from other crowdsource Testing Partners. Those who do not wish to participate in the crowdsource program will receive only the ScribeFax Basic dataset. Testing Partners sign a ScribeFaxCS license agreement that sets out program requirements. Prospective Testing Partners are screened before inclusion in the program.

A Complete U.S. Prescriber Database

ScribeFax includes all prescribers, not just those for whom a fax number is reported. Included for all are the name, prescriber's practice address, phone number, type of provider, taxonomy code and description, latitude and longitude of the pharmacy zip code, and number of prescribers at the same location, among other data (see table below). In addition, ScribeFax is delivered with the full database of the more than 7.1 million HIPAA-covered U.S. healthcare individuals and organizations, including all clinicians and non-clinicians, hospitals, clinics, laboratories and the full range of healthcare providers.

Robust Clinician Fax Numbers and Other Data

By drawing on data from all clinicians' federal records, as well as their group, clinic and coworkers' records and other sources, ScribeFax fills in gaps where some providers have not reported a fax number. The numbers below are counts of records with fax numbers. Using QoRelate™ – CarePrecise's advanced record-linkage technology – we are able to locate the fax number for any medical practice that has even a single practitioner who reports a fax number. This adds almost 30% more fax coverage for prescribing clinicians than can be obtained from the basic NPI registry data for the individual practitioner.

What Data Is Included in ScribeFax?

The database is presented as a relational database. A single prescriber may have more than one record in the file if multiple fax numbers have been identified; however, only one NPI/Fax pair is included in the ScribeFax table.

In addition to the table of data fields below, ScribeFax also includes detailed information on providers from our CarePrecise Complete product in relational database format.

Data Formats

ScribeFax is delivered as relational database tables in Comma Separated Values (.csv). Please note that the database contains more records than can be opened directly in Microsoft Excel, and is intended to be imported into relational database software, such as Microsoft Access (part of the Microsoft Office suite), SQL Server, Oracle, an other database environments.
