We would like the other sites to contact their mail room and find out if it is possible to send mail to HSC for free through interoffice mail, and then report back here.
*STB & HSC  - Interoffice mail used since 1999.  
*VIC: been doing it for last ~2 months --Ttenbergen 13:36, 2016 May 12 (CDT)
*CON: Just started -- Ttenbergen 13:36, 2016 May 12 (CDT)
*GRA: apparently our courier service is now interdepartmental and does not require a cost centre for billing; not sure when this took effect
*OAK: interoffice mail currently used--[[User:Lpruden2|Lpruden2]] 12:13, 2016 May 16 (CDT)

*Pagasa called Kim Militere and confirmed that between HSC and STB the cost is free with no size or weigh restrictions


Between HSC & all other sites - '''Western Messenger''' (WM)
===HSC/Grace===
*Cost - '''$1.00''' per 8x11 envelope.[[User:PTorres|PTorres]] 13:25, 2014 November 21 (CST)
*Sending OUT forms to Grace from HSC:  large envelopes or packages '''must put cost center''' on package
**Cost is by weigh if more than approximately 10 TISS forms in envelope.
* now that we have transitioned to TISS completion in CCMDB, and we no longer have log sheets or green sheets, this is no longer an issue.
***example: 25 TISS forms in one envelpe cost '''$2.60.'''-[[User:PTorres|PTorres]] 13:25, 2014 November 21 (CST)

===HSC / Main office ===
 
===HSC===
Contacted Kim Militere, Manager from HSC mail room for costs. When we send inter-office mail to other sites it costs 1$ for the large envelopes. She did not mention this being free between HSC and STB, and I did not ask. Requested documentation, they don't have any. Ttenbergen 14:14, 2014 November 20 (CST)

Envelopes or packages are placed in the outbox outside office door or dropped of in mailroom.


*I contacted the person in charge of our mailroom and he stated that we are currently using interoffice mail, despite my envelope stating "Western Messenger". He noted that there is no budget number and therefore could not charge us and at this time the service is included in the hospital budget.--12:12, 2016 May 16 (CDT)
We have pre-made labels:
*To all site except STB: on the top right of envelope, we write the cost center to charge to.
*for STB: top right of envelope we write interhospital


===VIC===
===GRA===
We use (WM) Western Messenger here at the Vic /located in the basement at the PRINT SHOP/ directly when you enter the Print Shop you will see baskets to your right/ Courier to Hosp/Clinics/and Doctors offices/ is where you drop off your envelopes. Recyclable envelopes are used /supply is located by the Data Collector Mailbox slot in the Print Shop. The Courier Log Sheet is updated each time TISS forms are sent to Pagasa/Trish. Once the Courier Log sheet is completed we send to Trish/Pagasa. We have never put a cost center on the envelope.From what I understand all letters etc are tallied up altogether and amount is sent and  charged to the Vic Hospital I dont know if they subdivide to the various departments. So in a nutshell I dont know who pays when we send our stuff out. Prior to switching over to WRHA I know our cost centre was under medical intensive care.
At the Grace we drop off an envelope in the Western Messenger box in the mailroom located on the ground floor just past the pharmacy, we do not put a cost center, so I am not certain who is paying for this service
