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.
