You can fax from DrChrono in two ways. You can fax documents individually from the patient chart or note and you can send multiple documents as a referral. A fax number is required in order to send and receive faxes in your DrChrono account.
Faxing From the Chart
From the chart, we can send documents, like a locked clinical note, or the patient demographics one at a time.
1. To send faxes from the patient chart, go to Patients > Patient List and search for a patient or enter a patient's name or chart ID in the Search field.
2. Go to the Documents tab on the left and select the tab where the document is.
You can fax the patient demographics by clicking the Fax Demographics button.
In the example below, we can see the Locked Clinical Notes tab. To the right of the locked clinical notes, there is a Fax button. Click Fax to send the clinical note.
3. After clicking the Fax or Fax Demographics button a window will open. Enter the contact information in the To field, a message if you would like, and click Send Fax.
Note: You can also fax a document from the, Uploaded Documents, Signed Consent Forms, Outbound Referrals, Lab Results, and Amendments tabs. Each will have a Fax button.
