Why medical offices still ask for faxes
Healthcare runs on fax more than any other part of American life. Records departments print their fax number right on the release form, front desks say fax it over because their systems file incoming faxes automatically, and insurers want supporting documents the same way. If a doctor's office, clinic, or records department just told you to fax something, you are in the right place. You do not need a fax machine and you do not need a subscription. You can send it from your phone right now.
What people fax to doctors and clinics
- Release of information forms. Sign the form, fax it to the records department, and they send your records where you need them.
- New patient intake packets and health history forms.
- Signed consent and authorization forms.
- Referral paperwork between offices.
- FMLA and disability certification forms your doctor filled out for you to submit.
Which fax number do I use?
Use the fax number printed on your form, or call the office and ask for the right one. Medical fax numbers are often specific to a department, and the records department and the front desk may not share a number.
How it works
Take a photo of your signed form with your phone camera, or upload it from your camera roll.
Add a cover page with your callback info. Fill out one quick form and we take care of the layout and details.

Questions about faxing a doctor's office
Can I fax a form to my doctor from my phone?
Yes. ProntoFax turns your photo into a real fax and delivers it over the phone network, the same way a fax machine would. The office receives a normal fax.
What fax number should I use?
Use the number printed on your form, or call the office and ask. Medical offices often have different fax numbers for the front desk, the records department, and billing, so the one on your own paperwork is the right one.
Can I fax a release of information form?
Yes, and it is one of the most common things people send. Sign the form, take a photo of it, and fax it to the number the records department printed on it. They handle sending your records from there.
Is a handwritten or signed form okay?
Yes. Take a clear photo of the signed form and you will see a preview of exactly what will be sent. Signatures come through the way they would on any fax.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for. You pay $2.99 for the fax you send, and that is it.
What happens if my fax fails?
Your card is only charged after your fax is delivered. If it does not go through, the payment is released and you can try again.
How do I prove I sent it?
Once your fax is delivered, we email you a receipt with a copy of exactly what was sent, so you have a record of what went out and when.
