Faxing From Medent

You can fax directly from Medent to any number.  This would include referring out, sending copies to other providers, faxing work/school notes and every other document/order ect.  in the chart.  

When in the patient’s chart, you can choose which document or multiple that you would like to fax by either, clicking on the documents button to expose all docs, from the separate category (ie, progress notes, or x-ray) or from inside the document itself.  

From outside the particular document at the bottom of the screen there is a button labeled  SEND.   It will then bring up a box that has a list of the most recent/most used fax destinations.  If the one that you would like to use is not already pre populated, you can click on (fax recipient), {yes I wrote in blue because it does come up blue} and free type into the box the name of recipient.  Then on the right hand side you will see Fax #, where you can enter the fax number, to include area code but no symbols (ei. - ).  Then next to where you but the number there is a box under the heading send.  If you click there it will send the fax directly.  

From inside a particular document, the SEND button is located at the top of the page.  Follow the same directions as above to enter the fax recipient and number.  

You can check the status of your faxes by going to the main page of Medent.  On the Practice Management side, search “faxing”.  View your Outbound faxes.  You can search this area by fax number if you choose.   You also have the option of checking the Status of Other’s Outbound Faxes by Choosing “View Outbound Faxes for Several” then choosing the user you would like to look up or all users.  Again you can search by the fax number to narrow down the options.
