Margaret, I also used an Excel spreadsheet -3 actually- one for drugs only, the other for Docs and hospitals and the 3rd for misc. equipment and supplies. Mine were detailed enough that I could prove 8 months after the fact that we did not get reimbursed for about $220 worth of 2Cal HN, and I got a check from the Ins Co to cover it. The biggest problem we had was getting the EOBs several months after the service date, so you have to stay organized about entering them. The other thing that really helped us was having an Ins Co 'Nurse Case Manager' assigned to us and she was Super and our best advocate with any claim issues. It will truly help if you can keep your payments and documentation on a spreadsheet. Remember, there will be lots of medical "stuff" you can claim on your taxes if you can document it. I use Quick Books and I dumped all of the over the counter drugs, gauzes, sterile water, wound care products [anything the Ins Co. didn't cover that was related to caring for John- into a medical exp. account- along will all gas expenses, hotel exp. associated with his trips to Doctors. It gave us a sizable deduction last year. I will admit that at one point I thought of hiring someone to take care of all of this because it took a large amount of time to track it all. Good luck.
