Acquiring a New Fax Number

SigmaMD makes it easy to acquire and activate a new fax number directly within the platform. Follow the steps below to set up your fax interface. 

To port an existing fax number into SigmaMD instead, please refer to this article.

Step 1: Navigate to the Fax Screen

From the main navigation menu, go to Practice Settings, then select Communication.

If your practice has multiple locations, you’ll see a Clinic Location field. From there, you can choose to use the new fax number across all locations or assign it to a specific one.

Step 2: Search for a New Fax Number

Use the search field to find available fax numbers by area code, state, or city.

Step 3: Select and Activate a Fax Number

Review the available fax numbers in the results list. When you find the number you want, click Activate to assign it to your practice.

Once activated, the fax number is immediately ready to send and receive faxes in SigmaMD.

For multi-location practices that prefer one fax number per location, you can repeat this process using the Add fax number button.

Each fax number will have its own dedicated inbox, making it easier to manage faxes by location.
