Frequently asked questions

Why does the submission date matter for Medicare appeals?

Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans have strict appeal deadlines — typically 60 days from a denial notice. Missing the deadline can forfeit your right to appeal entirely. A SHA-256 certified receipt proves the exact date your appeal arrived, not just the date you sent it.

Where do I find the Medicare prior authorization fax number?

For Medicare Advantage: the fax number is on the back of your member ID card or on the prior authorization request form your doctor received. For traditional Medicare: contact your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) — find yours at cms.gov. For Part D: use the fax number on the formulary exception form from your drug plan.

What is a SHA-256 certified receipt?

When your fax is delivered, FaxSeal generates a receipt with the SHA-256 cryptographic hash of your exact document, the fax number dialed, and the confirmed delivery timestamp. The hash permanently ties the receipt to that specific file — verifiable by anyone at faxseal.com/verify.

Can my doctor's office send prior authorization faxes this way?

Yes. Medical offices can use FaxSeal credits to send prior auth requests for multiple patients. Credits never expire — buy a bundle and use across all your patients. Each fax gets its own certified receipt for the patient's record.

What if the fax fails to deliver?

You are never charged for an undelivered fax. The card authorization is released immediately. If near a deadline, retry immediately and consider calling the plan directly to confirm receipt.

Can I sign and fax a Medicare form in one step?

Yes. Use the Sign & Fax tool — draw your signature, place it on the form, and fax directly from the same screen. No printing, no scanning required.
