Coco fax is how the vendor's name is often typed; the vendor writes it CocoFax. It sits in the Fax Line Index's HIPAA compliant fax class on the compliance statement its own site makes, and its pricing page prints a Lite plan at $9.99 a month, or $4.99 a month billed yearly, with 60 pages a month and a cost per additional page of $0.20. This page sets those printed figures beside the other vendors so a buyer can see what the low headline price buys and where the 60-page allowance runs out.
What CocoFax prints
The pricing page, read on the date the index records, prints Lite at $9.99 a month, or $4.99 a month when billed yearly, with 60 pages a month included and a cost per additional page of $0.20. The vendor's site states HIPAA compliance for the service, which places it in the index's HIPAA class; the practice buying it for health information should ask for the business associate agreement that covers the Lite plan and keep the signed copy, because the index quotes BAA statements only where they are printed beside a price, and CocoFax's is not. The index links the pricing page so the figures can be checked against the vendor's current text.
Where 60 pages a month runs out
Sixty pages is a light month for an individual and a light week for a practice. At $0.20 per additional page, an office that sends and receives 200 pages pays for 140 extra at $28 on top of $9.99, which is more than Fax.Plus's printed $6.99 for 200 pages, iFax's $12.49 for 200, MetroFax's $11.95 for 550 or WestFax's $14.99 for 500 with a 3¢ overage. So Coco fax is the right choice for someone who faxes a few forms a month and likes the yearly price, and the wrong one for any office that faxes daily. The index shows the three figures side by side for exactly this sum.
How it compares in the index
By printed entry price CocoFax sits above Fax.Plus and below MetroFax, iFax, WestFax, eFax and Documo. By allowance it is the smallest in the index. By overage it is the highest, at $0.20 against WestFax's 3¢, eFax's $0.07, Fax.Plus's $0.10 and Documo's $0.15. By compliance it is in the HIPAA class on its own statement. A buyer choosing between vendors should start from the monthly page count, find the plans whose allowance covers it, and then compare entry prices; on that method CocoFax wins for the lightest users and loses for everyone else, which is what a small allowance with a high overage means.
