oh, man. the fucking BILLS. What I do with my clients' medical bills is this: make a binder for them; punch holes in them and staple each bill together; make one section per billed service cluster (you'll get to 30-40 sections fairly quickly) because you are going to get multiple bills for each cluster of services; write on the tops of the pages the date you spoke to the customer service rep, their name, and what they said; when the insurance stuff that Rach talked about starts coming in, file that in the appropriate section in front of the bill; when you pay a portion of a bill, photocopy the check and/or credit card statement and add that to the section in front of the insurance stuff; when you contest things with the insurance company, keep a copy of the letter you send them in the appropriate section.

I recommend a nice calming color for the binder - light blue is good, ditto pine needle green.

When I get back from Europe next week I can set this up for you, if you like. Or you might prefer your own system. But the basic rule is pretty obvious and you already know it: KEEP EVERYTHING and TAKE NOTES.

anyway, I love you. And I saw Oscar Wilde's grave today!
