Ok my method may not be the best way because well its pretty lazy. But it works for us and my family. So basically I have two bins and a binder. One bin is for all the explanation of benefits and one is for the bills. Once a month I attach all the bills that corresponds with the benefits summary. I verify that it was processed correctly. For my daughter we have a government assistance plan called BCMH. They help cover what insurance doesn't due to a medical handicap. So I have to take a step further with her bills and fill out extra documents or make an extra phone call to the billing department of her bills. They then take care of the copays. As for the rest of us of its small ( under a certain amount) I go ahead and pay it. If it's over a certain limit then I make payment arrangements using a calendar that I keep in my bill binder. I write on each calendar month separated by tabs what is owed and from which statement. I have tabs monthly set two years at a time. For instance if I had a 600.00 bill from statement X and I did 100.00 payments a month then I would from April 2016-August 2016 wrote 100.00 for bill X. On each statement I always write what I paid the date, confirmation number and if I talked to anyone in billing or our insurance.
I also make notes on the explanation bog benefits if I need to after talking to insurance.
2. After visit summaries/ discharge paperwork and other medical documents
I try and always keep the most recent for all of her doctors. I will keep older ones if they have labs or other valuable information on them. I keep these in her medical binder under the correct doctor/clinic or hospital.
