Cover Letter for E-Fax

Healthie automatically attaches a Cover Letter to all e-faxes sent through the platform. 

This is useful for sharing your contact information, so recipients quickly know who a fax is from, as well as providing a summary overview about a client encounter, or content of the fax notes.  

Healthie's Cover Letter Template enables you to add your own text into a pre-defined form field, while also automatically pulling in your relevant business information to save you time and build brand consistency. 

Manage Your Fax Cover Letter

When you Send an E-fax, Healthie will prompt you to complete fields that generates your Cover Letter. 

The following fields will pre-populate on your fax cover page: 

• Business name (This is pulled from your Brand information)
• Business address (from your Business
• Logo on file
• Provider email address
• Provider phone number

Additionally, you are able to edit the following fields, specific to your Cover Letter:

• Subject line:  Ex: Session Notes on Jane Smith
• Remarks: Ex: Saw client on 3/24/20 for XYZ reason. Please find attached notes covering our session together.
• Recipient Contact Information: You are able to add Recipient's Name, Fax Number, and Business Name. This information can also be pulled from saved information on file from a Client's Personal Information.
