Question 1

Which cities fall under the 828 area code?

Accepted Answer

828 serves Western North Carolina, including Asheville, Hickory, and Morganton along with the surrounding mountain towns. It's a single-code region rather than an overlay, so the whole area shares the same code for both phone and fax numbers.

Question 2

Do Asheville hospitals still take faxed referrals?

Accepted Answer

They do. Hospitals and medical offices around Asheville accept faxed referrals, prior authorizations, and lab orders because fax satisfies HIPAA's transmission standards. Many insurers in the 828 region also expect fax for claims and pre-certification, and Send FAX Mail handles those from email with confirmation on each send.

Question 3

Can a Hickory contractor fax signed contracts from a phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With Send FAX Mail you attach the signed PDF to an email and send it to the recipient's fax number, which works just as well from a phone as a laptop. A Hickory or Morganton contractor gets a timestamped record of the transmission for their files.

Question 4

What's the price for an 828 number?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at $12.99/mo and selecting your 828 number costs nothing extra. Each plan includes a monthly page allowance, and an Asheville or Hickory office sending more simply moves up a tier instead of paying per page. Practices handling patient data typically choose the $54.99/mo Business plan for its HIPAA support.
