Reviews

What customers are saying:

"You folks have gone beyond just creating a good piece of software. This software will save me so much time and money and frees me of the mental burden I've carried for so long, that you folks need to go to bed tonight knowing that you have changed some lives significantly."

Francois B.

"Due to monumental family problems, our medical bills were in arrear for almost a year. It was not due to a lack of money, or insurance. We had just gotten to the point where we couldn't make heads or tails of the mess. I don't like just paying bills, I like to know exactly what I'm paying for, and its balance due. In the past I accidentally found a dentist over billing me and my insurance company who paid twice for the same service. After using Quicken Medical Expense Manager v1 and entering my medical expenses for 2004 and 2005 I was able to recover $385.00 from medical over payments on my part. I was also able to point out to our insurance company $285.00 in over payments by them. While medical providers are not necessarily dishonest, their billing methods are not without flaws. In just one month, Medical Expense Manager has paid for itself 10 times."

Cruz R.

"It is simple to use and very easy to research my records. QMEM lets me make sense of my 1 - 2 inch medical file folder and get to information quickly rather than manually searching my thick file. It also lets me see the relationship of my expenses rather than treating each trip to the doctor as a stand alone expense."

Walter F.

"(Quicken Medical Expense Manager) makes me feel more in control and more organized. I feel confident that I know all medications and appointments that have been made for my family."

Deanna Y.

"I just enter each document as I receive it and I have a total record which I can look at in multiple ways. No more paging through my paper files to check on items and the financial record keeping is better than the Excel files I have used in the past."

Ted F.

What the press is saying:

"Quicken Medical Expense manager is a simple and handy way to track each medical bill and insurance 'explanation of benefits' letter, so you can deal with the insurance company from a position of strength... Now you'll know whether you should pay a bill, wait for insurance or ask questions."

Chicago Sun-Times, February 20, 2006

Cybele Weisser says, "The updated version of Quicken's Medical Expense Manager allows you to track expenses, but it's more than just an organizer: It follows your progress toward meeting deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, flags overlooked tax deductions and alerts you to possible billing errors."

Kaja Whitehouse interviewed MEM user Barrie Rappaport: "Rick and Barrie Rappaport of Chicago struggled for years to gain control of the rush of medical bills associated with their daughter's rare genetic disorder. At one point, they tried logging all their information on an Excel spreadsheet. When that proved cumbersome, they organized file folders for each member of the family and the corresponding doctors. No matter what they tried, 'it was never easy,' says Barrie Rappaport, a book-publishing analyst. 'I always found it overwhelming.' To resolve this problem, people like the Rappaports are turning to software programs that allow them to easily view their medical bills in relation to their insurance coverage and the payments they have made..."

How is Quicken Medical Expense Manager different from Quicken?

Quicken Medical Expense Manager is simpler than Quicken because it focuses on just one area: managing health care expenses and insurance. Quicken Medical Expense Manager tracks many things that Quicken doesn't, including medical expense tax deductions, basic medical and prescription history, insurance payments and out-of-pocket spending toward deductibles, billing or claims disputes, and flexible spending accounts. It doesn't have bill payment or check-writing capabilities like Quicken and it doesn't integrate or exchange data with Quicken.
