How often does Cortico process incoming faxes?

Cortico scans the fax inbox and applies labels every 20 minutes, so the queue stays organized throughout the day rather than being sorted in batches.

What does the AI assign to each fax?

For each incoming fax, Cortico assigns the relevant provider, patient name, and document type. Urgent faxes that remain unassigned are flagged for staff review.

Can fax labels be customized for our clinic?

Yes. Custom labels can be configured to match your clinic's own categories, and an optional add-on creates new patient files for faxes that do not match an existing record.

Does fax auto-triage work with our EMR?

Yes. Cortico's fax auto-triage is built to work alongside major EMRs and slots into the document workflow your clinic already uses.

AI Fax Auto-Triage Software for Medical Clinics

Automate the sorting of incoming faxes with AI-powered triaging.

Inbox management made easy

Efficiently process incoming faxes every 20 minutes

AI scans the inbox and applies labels for easy sorting at a regular interval
Automatically assigns relevant provider, patient name, and document type
Urgent faxes that remain unassigned are flagged for staff review

The fax inbox is one of the last fully manual jobs in a modern clinic — someone opens each document, works out who it is for, and files it. Cortico's AI does that pass automatically every 20 minutes: it reads incoming faxes, applies labels, and sorts the inbox so staff arrive to a queue that is already organized.

Customizable for your unique needs

Keep your practice running efficiently without bottlenecks

Custom labels can be applied based on your clinic’s preferences
Optional add-on creates new patient files for unmatched faxes
Eliminate manual sorting of the fax inbox throughout the day

Every clinic's inbox has its own logic. Cortico's fax auto-triage is configurable: labels follow your clinic's categories, and an optional add-on can create new patient files for faxes that do not match an existing record — so the unmatched pile that usually grows all day simply does not.

AI That Reads Every Fax So Staff Don't Have To

Cortico identifies the provider, patient, and document type on each incoming fax.

AI assigns provider, patient, and document type automatically
Inbox scanned and labelled every 20 minutes
Staff review exceptions instead of sorting everything
Faster turnaround on results, referrals, and requests

The slow part of fax handling is not filing — it is reading each page to figure out where it goes. Cortico's AI does that classification automatically, assigning the relevant provider, patient name, and document type, so the human step shrinks from "sort everything" to "review the exceptions."

Urgent Faxes Surface Instead of Sinking

Time-sensitive documents are flagged so nothing important waits in a pile.

Unassigned urgent faxes flagged for staff review
Time-sensitive results do not wait behind routine documents
Custom labels match your clinic's existing categories
Optional add-on creates patient files for unmatched faxes

In a manual inbox, an urgent result is only as fast as the next person to open the queue. Cortico flags urgent faxes that remain unassigned for staff review, so time-sensitive documents are surfaced rather than buried under routine paperwork.
