How to fax an insurance claim form from your iPhone

Scan the pages in order

A claim adjuster reads your fax from top to bottom, so put the form first and the supporting documents after it. The Notes scanner lets you capture several pages into one document.

1. Open Notes, create a note, tap the camera icon and choose Scan Documents.
2. Scan the claim form pages first, then each receipt, without leaving the scanner.
3. Lay small receipts on a sheet of plain paper so the edges are detected cleanly.
4. Tap Save, review the thumbnails and retake any page that's blurry or cut off.
5. Share the note and save it to Files as a single PDF named with your policy number.

After you send

Every delivered fax keeps a time-stamped delivery receipt. Insurers often have deadlines for submitting claims, so that receipt is useful proof of the date you sent it. Keep your original receipts until the claim is paid, because insurers sometimes audit claims and ask to see originals.

If the insurer replies by fax, for example asking for a missing receipt, it will arrive in your private encrypted inbox and you'll get an in-app and browser alert. You can reply with the missing page from the same browser.

A few habits make repeat claims easier. Keep a folder in the Files app for each policy year, name every PDF with the date and claim type, and note the delivery receipt date in the same folder. If your plan has an annual maximum, that record also helps you track how much you've claimed. The team at faxfromiphone.ca suggests keeping scans for at least as long as your insurer's audit window, which is set out in your policy booklet.
