Published plan facts use the provider verification dates maintained in FaxScout’s research data. “Verify” means the provider does not expose a sufficiently clear public answer for FaxScout to state it as fact.
How FaxScout would make the decision
Start with non-negotiables: BAA eligibility, monthly volume, existing-number continuity, team size and API/integration requirements. Then compare total expected cost. Cosmetic features are tiebreakers, not reasons to ignore a major constraint.

Frequently asked questions
Is a dedicated fax number worth it for an insurance agency?
Usually yes if clients and carriers already use fax. A dedicated number gives continuity and separates business fax traffic from ad hoc personal services.
