Faxing Reports directly to patient's physician or therapists using the VSTBalance Fax feature. 

Note: You will need to check with your Client Partner to ensure that your organization’s fax information has been input into the system and the feature is enabled. 

1. From the Report Options dropdown, you will be able to select Send Fax.
2. Once selected, it will bring up a Patient Consent for Treatment form. The patient must read through this form and confirm that they agree to fax the report to their primary care physician by typing in their name at the bottom and clicking the Agree button. 
3. Note: The name that is typed into the patient consent for treatment form must match the name on the patient’s profile for it to be accepted. 
4. Next, the system will require a photo to be taken of the patient as confirmation that the patient is present to give their consent. (This photo will not be saved)
   
5. Next, you will need to enter the contact information for the patient’s PCP. The physician’s name must be filled in the field labeled Deliver To and their fax number will need to be entered in the field labeled Recipient’s Fax #.
   • The first two fields on the left side should be auto-filled with the name of the user logged into the system and your organization’s fax number. There is an option to add comments and a description of the report in the field labeled Regarding.
