Use Secure Send to email patient instructions

How to use Freed's Secure Send feature to email a copy of instructions directly to your patient or client.

You can securely email the generated Patient Instructions using Secure Send. The Patient Instructions are generated along with your note, and can be edited just like any other part of your note.


How to use Secure Send

Step 1: Open the Instructions tab

Click the Instructions tab at the top of the visit view (Premier and Groups plans only). Review the generated instructions and make any edits needed.


If you're using a Learned Template, you can edit the format of the instructions. Auto Learn is off by default — if you’ve turned it on (we recommend it!), the template updates automatically in the background. If Auto Learn is off, click Learn format at the top of the visit to teach the template manually.

Step 2: Click Secure send

When you're ready, click Secure send in the row of actions at the top of the Instructions tab (next to Print and Copy all).

Step 3: Confirm and send

You'll be asked to enter your patient's email address twice. Once sent, the patient's name and email are saved to the patient record so you can reuse them on future Secure Sends.

Tick the consent checkbox — it reads "I have obtained consent from the patient to send Protected Health Information (PHI) by email." You cannot send until it is ticked. Once entered and confirmed, click the Send button.

Other actions on the Instructions tab

  • Print opens a printable copy of the instructions.

  • Translate opens the AI chat with a translation request started for you — finish it with the language you need (for example, "Spanish"), review the result, then send or print it.

  • After a secure send, a Sent label with the date appears so you can see the instructions were delivered.

You can also securely send Clinical Letters from the Clinical letter tab.

Don't see Secure send?

The button appears once the instructions have content. Secure Send can also be turned off for a group practice — if you're on a group plan and the button is missing, contact Clinician Support to check whether it's turned off for your practice.
