rVetLink can use faxes to send patient updates to referring practices.

About faxes in rVetLink

After you configure fax notifications, rVetLink can automatically send faxes to referring practices.

Configure fax notifications (walkthrough)

If rVetLink does not send a fax to a referring practice without a configured email address, the practice  cannot receive the applicable patient update. Make sure that you do a  check every day for faxes that do not send.
