How to fax a doctor’s office

Get the office’s fax number, add a cover page with the patient’s name and date of birth, upload the pages and send. Keep the delivery receipt in case the office says it never arrived.

Clinics still ask for faxes for referrals, records requests and forms. Ask the office for the fax number, not the phone number.

Step by step

Ask the office which fax number to use and who it should go to.
Add a cover page with the patient name, date of birth and what you’re sending.
Upload the signed form or records as a PDF or photo.
Send it and keep the delivery receipt in case the office says it never arrived.

ConfirmFax costs $2.99 per fax with no subscription. On the website you’re charged only when the fax is delivered.
