Quicken Offers Prescription for Medical Expense Headaches

When caring for an elderly parent, loved one, or someone who is managing an illness or serious medical situation, dealing with the mountain of bills and insurance documents can only add insult to injury.

Millions of Caregivers are overwhelmed by this task, frustrated by the inefficient methods currently used to manage this important information. Some toss unopened bills in a bin, waiting to receive a final collection notice before making a payment. Others cram paperwork into overflowing files and folders, with no sense of what's where. And still others try to keep detailed records on the backs of envelopes, hoping to find them in the future.

The result? Unpaid bills. Overpaid bills. Misplaced paperwork. Lost tax deductions. Unnecessary stress.
