Secure Online Fax for Washington Insurance Agencies and Carriers
Carriers, independent agencies, and adjusters across Washington still move a lot of paper by fax: first notice of loss documents, signed policy applications, declarations pages, proof-of-coverage requests, and producer licensing paperwork. Many claims partners and lienholders accept these only by fax, and a signed authorization on file needs a record of when and where it went.
Regulations & Compliance
Insurance in Washington is regulated by the Office of the Insurance Commissioner, which licenses producers and adjusters and enforces the privacy rules in Title 48 of the Revised Code of Washington and the corresponding Washington Administrative Code. Those rules track the NAIC privacy model and require that nonpublic personal and health information collected for underwriting or claims be protected in transit. A shared analog fax line gives no encryption and no reliable audit trail, while encrypted transmission with retained send logs supports the confidentiality and recordkeeping standards the OIC and NAIC market-conduct reviews look for. Agencies handling claims that include medical records also fall under HIPAA, which our Business plan is built to support.

Insurance Fax in Washington — FAQ
First notice of loss forms, signed applications, declarations pages, certificates and proof of coverage, and producer licensing paperwork make up the bulk of it. Body shops, lienholders, and some claims units still take these only by fax, and the confirmation record matters when a signed authorization is involved.
The privacy provisions in Title 48 RCW require that nonpublic personal and financial information be protected in transit. Send FAX Mail encrypts every page with TLS while sending and stores it under AES-256, and the send log gives you the dated record an OIC market-conduct review or a producer audit tends to ask for.
Claims that include protected health information fall under HIPAA on top of the state insurance rules. Our Business plan at $79.99/month is built for HIPAA workloads, with inbound medical PDFs kept inside your authenticated dashboard rather than emailed as attachments.
Yes. A multi-office agency can keep several Washington numbers under a single account, and choosing a number is free with any paid plan, so a downtown Seattle office and a branch in Tacoma can each have their own line without separate contracts.
Plans begin at $12.99/month with a dedicated number and a monthly page allowance. If a heavy claims month pushes you past the allowance, you move up to the next tier rather than paying per page, so a solo producer can match a plan to their real volume instead of renting a dedicated line.
