I want software to track family medical bills, insurance EOBs and payments, flagging mismatched amounts and splitting one check across several bills

Answered via Hacker News wanted by anywherenotes (HN) original post ↗

The author has primary and secondary insurance and receives EOBs, secondary insurer statements and doctor bills for each family member's appointment. These often disagree by small amounts (e.g. $53.67 vs $56.37), and corrected bills must be kept alongside earlier versions. They want to store pasted emails and uploaded photos of bills, and to apply a single check across several bills, handling underpayment too.

It is done when I can log a visit, attach bills, see mismatch flags, and apply one check to many bills

Already exists

Triage Cancer Medical Bill Tracker (spreadsheet) triagecancer.org

A free Excel/Google Sheets template where you enter EOB details per row and it totals them. It has no mismatch flags, no check splitting, no bill-version history and no photo or email storage, and the page doesn't mention family members. It is a partial fit only.

Family Medical Bill Ledger

You can log visits, attach bills, EOBs, pasted emails and photos, and keep corrected bills next to the versions they replace. Mismatches show as red badges such as '$56.37 vs $53.67 (diff $2.70)', and one check can be split across several bills with underpayments tracked. Nothing is saved automatically in this page, so use Export JSON as your backup and Import it next time.
