How to Fax a Prescription from iPhone 13

Prescription faxing is one of the most common uses of fax in healthcare — and TigerFax makes it simple from any iPhone.

What you'll need

  • iPhone 13 running iOS 15+
  • TigerFax app (free on the App Store)
  • Your Prescription (physical copy to scan, or a PDF/image file)
  • The recipient's fax number
  • A cover page with confidentiality notice (recommended)

How to Fax a Prescription from iPhone 13: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 13. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iOS 15+ and works on all iPhones running iOS 15 or later.

  2. 2

    Scan your Prescription with iPhone 13

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 13 about 12 inches above the Prescription and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 13's sensor-shift OIS on the wide camera reduces camera shake during document scanning. For best results, scan in a well-lit area and let the auto-capture trigger automatically.

  3. 3

    Upload your Prescription from iPhone 13

    Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your Prescription from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. iOS 15 on iPhone 13 supports Quick Note and improved Shortcuts integration, so you can create a shortcut to open TigerFax and start a fax directly from your home screen.

    💡 Tip: PDF format preserves Prescription formatting best. If you have a digital copy, upload it instead of scanning for the clearest result.

  4. 4

    Add a confidentiality cover page

    Since Prescriptions contain sensitive information protected under HIPAA and DEA, add a cover page with a confidentiality notice. TigerFax includes built-in cover page templates.

  5. 5

    Enter the recipient's fax number

    Type the recipient's fax number in the To field. For international numbers, include the country code. TigerFax automatically formats the number.

  6. 6

    Review and send

    Preview your Prescription to verify all pages are included and legible. Tap Send. You'll receive a delivery confirmation when the fax is received.
