Tracking your medical insurance claims while undergoing treatment can be a nightmare; however, tracking your information can save you a lot of money if billing errors are made. While billing errors only account for a few percentages of all medical billing submissions, it does happen, and you may benefit from carefully tracking your medical insurance information.
You'll benefit from creating files to organize your medical correspondence. Items to track include:
Notes about each appointment including dates, procedures performed, and tests completed
Records of all medications prescribed and their receipts
Proof of insurance premium payments
All copay receipts
All correspondence received from your medical insurance company
All bills, statement, payment statements and other medical providers
If out-of-pocket expenses are high, receipts of expenses such as food and travel for possible tax benefit
If you choose to hire a person or service to manage and track your medical insurance information, make sure that they are trustworthy and capable.
