Basically, my health insurance claims to cover doulas, however requires a tedious process where one must either fax them or snail mail them the claim. I did both. The fax returned as failure and I haven't seen the claim added even after mailing it a month ago. My coworker has the same issue.

Build a script (can integrate with cron) to sent an electronic fax to them every hour on the hour, and safely collect the returned failed responses in a directory. I will show this to them or to my companies HR. Also find an electronic fax API to use with a service that is the cheapest for a single month. Assume the doula claim paperwork is about 5 black and white pages.

You've got a figure out directive, you can ask some clarifying questions in the beginning, but then I want you to go and build the thing. Preferred language is python.
