How to Fax a Insurance Claim from iPad: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPad. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iPadOS 15+ and works on all iPads running iOS 15 or later.

  2. 2

    Scan your Insurance Claim with iPad

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad about 12 inches above the Insurance Claim and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPad's rear camera works great for scanning documents. For best results, use the iPad in landscape mode and ensure even lighting across the document.

    💡 Tip: Your Insurance Claim may have multiple pages — TigerFax lets you scan each page in sequence before sending.
