Get organized:

To reduce your stress, have someone help you organize your financial information and make sure a family member or trusted friend has access to this information if needed: • Add up monthly payments to hospitals, clinics, doctors, radiologists and others in

volved in your treatment.

• Note how each of these bills is paid— online or by mail— and when the

bills are due.

• List the contact information for the billing person or department for each

of these bills.

• Write down the last four digits of your Social Security number and your birthdate, as

these are often required when you contact billing departments.

• Write down the debit or credit card number used for payment, as well as the PIN number that goes along with it.

• List any public or private financial help you are getting, along with contact names and phone numbers.
