Being in Canada I don’t really have this issue personally, but from what I understand, in the United States when you have to pay for medical services there is (and I believe this is the official term) a crapload of documents.
Over on Unclutterer there is an interesting (to me anyways) forum thread on organizing medical bills and papers.
Here is a portion of the question that started it all off:
Any suggestions for how to organize medical bills? How do you organize a “holding” area for the This-Is-Not-a-Bills? Then, once something is paid, do you attempt to separate it by family member? I’m thinking we should just have a small “Pending” box and then a big “Done” box.
Do you have any strategies for having to deal with the mess of medical forms that are in your life? I’d be interested to hear them either here in the comments or head on over to the Unclutterer thread and chime in.
