How to Fax Proof of Inpatient Treatment to Your Employer (Fast & Private)

If you’ve completed rehab or inpatient treatment and need to fax proof to your employer, the process can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re still adjusting to life outside. Whether it’s for medical leave, FMLA, or return-to-work clearance, this guide shows how to do it quickly, privately, and without a fax machine.

Real Story: Getting Back to Work Without Breaking Down

Just three days out of a 30-day alcohol rehab program in Tucson, Daniel had a letter from the facility director confirming his successful discharge. His employer’s HR department needed it **faxed** to complete his FMLA file before he could return to work on Monday.

He didn’t own a printer. Didn’t have a car. Didn’t want to step inside a FedEx store where someone might see him. It was Friday, 5:25 PM.

He found SendAFaxNow.com, uploaded the discharge letter from his phone, typed in the HR fax number listed on his leave paperwork, and clicked “Send.”

At 5:29 PM, he received an email confirmation. The HR rep confirmed Monday morning: **everything was received, and his file was cleared.**

“I didn’t need another public moment. I needed a private way to move forward,” Daniel said.

Is Faxing Treatment Records to Employers Safe and Legal?
