I am just learning how to use QMEM, but have been using excel spreadsheets to track medical expenses for 18 years.

I am not able to enter the actual deductible amount applied by my insurer which appears on my EOB for a given date of service.

From the Expense Log I go to Expense Details, then to Insurance Payments to enter the amounts my insurer has paid. The 'Deductible' box does not allow me to enter anything. Instead QMEM has calculated a deductible met based on the medical expenses I have recently entered.

Since I am just beginning to enter 2008 expenses, and not doing so in order, this calculated deductible amount is not accurate.

Is there a way to enter the actual deductible applied from the EOB?

I totally agree that it is essential for this software to track deductibles properly ! The options for the "amount allowed" to be paid to 'me' or 'provider' need to also include 'applied to deductible' - that seems simple enough. Then there needs to be an option for the remaining amount to be broken down further into 'insurance write off' and/or 'my responsiblity.' This is quite a typical breakdown for all 4 of the major Insurers (BC/BS, Cigna, Unicare, Aetna) - and it makes no sense for this software to NOT allow for such input. If I am incorrect and this software does permit me to track these components of my EOB's, please educate me. Thank you!!

    Unfortunately, Beshert, Intuit has ignored your thoughtful suggestions, since it appears that the last time QMEM was "updated" was when it was released in October, 2007. As it exists, QMEM NEVER calculates my deductible accurately. The caveat in the "Deductible Report" that these expenses are "estimated" is sadly lacking. Come on, Intuit, get with it and make these simple changes in input function so that my data is correct.
