Switching fax providers
A workflow-first alternative to WestFax
WestFax details verified July 8, 2026 from public pricing and legal pages. Plans change - confirm current details on the vendor's site.
WestFax takes healthcare seriously: a BAA on every tier and genuinely cheap overage. The honest catches sit in the day-to-day - the entry plan is a single user seat, cancellation is by phone only per their terms, ported-in numbers carry a published fee, and the product is utilitarian. FaxRx matches the BAA-everywhere posture and adds the part your staff actually touches: team seats on every plan, pharmacy fax forms, and self-serve account control.
FaxRx and WestFax, side by side
What pharmacies and clinics notice
One login on the entry plan
WestFax HIPAA Basic includes a single user seat as of July 2026 - a pharmacy counter rarely has a single person. FaxRx Starter ($15/mo) includes 3 team members; Professional includes 10.
Cancel from your account, not a phone queue
The WestFax terms document cancellation by calling customer service, with no self-serve path published as of July 2026. FaxRx billing is monthly and cancellation starts right in the portal - no call required.
Pharmacy workflow included
FaxRx ships a curated library of pharmacy fax forms (prior auth, transfers, refill requests), contact books built around prescriber offices, and templates your team fills in the browser. WestFax is a capable pipe; the workflow layer is yours to build.
Bring your number for free
WestFax publishes a $20 per-number port-in fee as of July 2026. Porting into FaxRx is free on Professional and Enterprise - we handle the carrier paperwork and the port typically completes in 5-10 days.
Bringing your number over
Your WestFax number is yours to move. Porting into FaxRx is free on Professional and Enterprise (WestFax itself publishes a $20 per-number fee to port a number in, so this is a one-way saving). Typical port time is 5-10 days, we handle the paperwork, and your line keeps working at WestFax until the port completes.
Questions pharmacies ask
Can I keep my WestFax number?
Yes. Port it into FaxRx for free on Professional and Enterprise - typically 5-10 days, no downtime, and we handle the carrier paperwork.
WestFax also signs a BAA on every plan - why switch?
WestFax's BAA posture is genuinely solid; the difference is the workflow around it. FaxRx includes pharmacy fax-form templates, 3 team members from the $15 Starter plan up, a modern portal, and self-serve account control including cancellation. Compare the day-to-day, not just the BAA.
How do the page counts compare?
WestFax HIPAA Basic includes 500 pages at $14.99 with one user as of July 2026. FaxRx Starter is $15/mo with 300 pages and 3 team members; Professional is $39/mo with 1,000 pages and free porting. If raw pages per dollar is the whole decision, WestFax Basic is strong - FaxRx wins on team access and workflow.
Is cancellation really phone-only at WestFax?
Their published terms state service may be cancelled by calling WestFax customer service, and no self-serve cancellation is documented on their public pages as of July 2026. FaxRx cancellation starts in the portal.
