Send a fax nowFastFax lets you send a fax online from your phone or computer for as little as 2¢ a page, with no subscription. US fax numbers only, up to 100 pages per fax.
How to send it
- Gather your pages: the claim form, receipts, bills, photos of damage. Scan them on fastfax.app or upload PDFs.
- Add a cover page with the claims department in To, the adjuster's name in Attn, and your claim number and policy number in the subject.
- Type the fax number from your claim letter or the insurer's website, check the preview, and send.
- Download the confirmation PDF and save it with your claim.
Tips for insurance faxes
- Write the claim number on every page, not just the cover page. Pages sometimes get separated.
- Photos of damage come out black and white on a fax. If color matters, ask the insurer for an upload portal or email too.
- Large batches: one fax can carry up to 100 pages. For more, split into several faxes and number them (1 of 2, 2 of 2).
- Note the date and time on the confirmation in case you need to show you met a deadline.
Auto, home, health, life, disability
The steps are the same for any kind of insurance. Only the fax number and the reference numbers change.
