Need to fax a prescription to a pharmacy or specialist? TigerFax handles it securely in under two minutes.

What you'll need

  • iPhone SE running iOS 15+

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

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone SE. 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 SE

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone SE about 12 inches above the Prescription and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone SE's smaller screen means you'll want to zoom in on the document preview to verify legibility before sending. The 12MP camera is capable, but ensure good lighting for best results.

  3. 3

    Upload your Prescription from iPhone SE

    Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your Prescription from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. Despite its compact size, the iPhone SE supports the full iOS Files app experience, giving you access to iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and other cloud storage for importing documents.

    💡 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.
