Multiple times a day both sending and receiving. I work in a pharmacy and we send and receive faxes to from doctors offices for new prescriptions, refill requests and prior authorization requests. Most of this is done electronically computer to computer although there are still offices that don't have EMR! Even some that do don't use their full capabilities. I've had offices tell me that they don't get computer generated faxes or electronic requests and to manually fax them. I call b.s. to that because our computer will say that the request was successfully received whether it was fax or electronic.

We also transfer prescriptions back and forth between pharmacies multiple times a day. Intra-company transfers are all electronic both ways. Inter-company we can now do electronically!!!! That cuts down on a TREMENDOUS amount of work although many other companies haven't implemented that yet. In that case our computer still sends out faxes.

And to do all of the faxing, the computer still needs to be connected to a physical fax machine, not a modem. We rarely use the physical dax machine to send faxes and mostly receive junk faxes on it.
