Proper Receipts from Bills

[Guest motor]

Hey everybody,

I've been running into a problem latly,maybe someone knows how to make it eisier on participant's in a Sec. 125 Plan.

Here it is. What can be done when people are billed to their home for medical services? When this is done they write in the amount they are paying (like a phone bill) and send me a copy. Now I know these people paid these bills but I don't have an actual receipt as being paid for reimbursment.

Any advice?

We do not require proof of payment. We require proof that the expense was incurred. We ask that the receipt show the name of the patient, the nature of the service, the date of the service, the charge to the patient and the name of the service provider.

Thanks, I thought the participant should at least have a date of service. Everything worked out.
