EHR Fax

Fax to EHR means incoming faxes arrive in a cloud fax inbox and are delivered into the correct patient record in your EHR or EMR, with no printing, scanning, or manual upload.

iFax integrates directly with Epic and Elation Health for incoming faxes.

Streamline your entire document workflow—from fax inbox to EHR.

Fax to EHR Integration with iFax

Choose a secure, HIPAA-compliant fax vendor that not only integrates with your workflow but also works with it. With Send to EHR automation, you can save time on repetitive documentation.

iFax scans faxes for patient details, matches them to the correct profile, and automatically routes them to the EHR, reducing manual touchpoints.

Incoming Faxes Delivered to Your Records System

Seamless and Secure HIPAA-Compliant EMR Fax Integration

Whether it’s EHR fax or EMR fax, the goal is the same: keep fax-dependent documents inside your medical fax or healthcare records system. Receive faxes in Elation Health (common in independent practices) or Epic (used by larger health systems), without a fax machine, MFP, or phone line.

Direct EHR and EMR Fax Integrations iFax Supports

Best for: Health systems, hospital groups, and multi-location practices with high inbound fax volume.

Inbound Fax to EHR

How to Send a Fax Directly to Your EHR

Faxes reach your EHR directly through iFax’s inbound integration.

To set it up:

  1. Sign up for an iFax Pro account.
  2. From the Dashboard, go to Settings > Integrations & Plugins.
  3. Choose whether to enable Epic, Elation Health, or other integrations with medical and EHR software.
  4. Follow the implementation instructions.
  5. Input your Client ID and other important integration details.
  6. Click Save, then send a test fax to confirm that incoming faxes reach your EHR.

Route faxes before they reach your EHR

Manual sorting slows EHR document processing. iFax uses OCR to read patient details, match each fax to a profile, and route it to the right place. Explore Fax OCR and Fax Automation.

High hardware and maintenance costs

EHR Cost vs. Fax Integration Cost

The cost of EHR systems varies widely with licensing, implementation, and per-provider fees. Online fax integration is a small part of that spend, and retiring fax hardware and phone lines can offset it.

iFax Pro plans start at $33.33 per month, billed annually.

What This Looks Like in Practice

A busy clinic receives healthcare records by fax every day. Staff used to download, scan, and upload each one.

With EMR or EHR fax integration, incoming faxes automatically reach the right chart, matched and ready for review.
