Healthcare faxing without the fax machine
Healthcare still depends on fax for many everyday document workflows.
A clinic may need to send a referral to a specialist. A patient may have to send medical records to a new doctor. An administrative team may need to submit paperwork to an insurer.
Faxer lets you handle those requests online instead of printing the document and looking for a fax machine.
Upload the file you already have, enter the fax number and send it from the same device you use to work.
Send documents without printing
Keep medical records, referrals and forms digital instead of printing documents solely for faxing.
Check delivery status
See the status of each transmission so you know whether the fax was successfully delivered.
Access your fax history
Review previous transmissions and their status from your Faxer account.
Send healthcare documents online
Use Faxer as a healthcare fax service when a doctor, clinic, insurer or other healthcare organization asks you to submit documents by fax.
Medical records
Send medical records to doctors, clinics and other healthcare organizations when they request them by fax.
Patient referrals
Fax referral forms and supporting documentation directly to another provider or specialist.
Prior authorization forms
Send authorization requests and related documents to insurers and healthcare organizations that accept them by fax.
Insurance documents
Submit claims paperwork, supporting records and other insurance forms without printing them first.

Patient paperwork
Patients and caregivers can send documents requested by doctors, hospitals, clinics or insurers without owning a fax machine.
How to send a healthcare fax
Sending healthcare documents with Faxer takes three steps.
Upload your document
Upload the PDF, Word file, photo or other supported document you need to send. Add a cover page if needed.
Enter the recipient’s fax number
Add the fax number provided by the clinic, doctor, insurer or healthcare organization.
When sending sensitive documents, double-check the number before continuing.
Send and track
Send your fax and follow its delivery status from your Faxer account.
Know when your fax arrives
A healthcare document can be time-sensitive. Once you send it, you need to know whether it actually reached the destination.
Faxer provides a delivery status for every fax, so you can check whether the transmission was completed instead of wondering whether you need to send the document again.
Your fax history also gives you a record of previous sends and their status from your account.
One online fax service for different healthcare needs
Healthcare workflows differ depending on who is sending the document and where it needs to go. Faxer provides the same online fax workflow across medical practices, administrative teams, insurers and patients.
For medical practices
Send patient records, referrals, forms and other documents to providers, insurers and healthcare organizations.
For healthcare administrators
Handle recurring fax requests without maintaining a shared fax machine or dedicated phone line.
For insurance and billing teams
Send authorization requests, claims documentation and supporting files to the required fax numbers.
For healthcare professionals
Send documents from your computer or phone wherever your work takes you.
For patients and caregivers
Fax medical records, forms and insurance paperwork when a healthcare organization asks for them.
Sending sensitive healthcare documents?
Healthcare documents can contain private information, so organizations handling Protected Health Information may have additional security and compliance requirements.
If your workflow involves PHI, HIPAA or Business Associate Agreement requirements, review our dedicated HIPAA fax information before sending.
Why send healthcare faxes with Faxer?

Your documents are already digital. Keep them that way instead of printing them just to send a fax.

Delivery confirmation

Web and mobile
Send documents from your laptop or phone using the same Faxer account.
Fax history
Check previous transmissions, their status and when they were sent from your account.
Receive healthcare faxes too
Some healthcare workflows require documents to move in both directions.
With Faxer, you can also get a fax number and receive incoming faxes in your account instead of relying on a physical machine.
Give the number to a doctor, clinic, insurer or other organization and manage the faxes they send you online.
Healthcare fax from your computer or phone
You do not need to be standing next to an office fax machine to send a medical document.
Faxer works from web and mobile, so you can send the document from whichever device already has the file. This is useful whether you are working from a clinic, handling administrative work remotely or simply trying to send a document that your doctor has requested.
The recipient continues to receive the document through their existing fax number.
