DALLAS, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- For many patients, the biggest challenge of undergoing a serious illness, surgery or injury is not the physical or emotional stress -- but the financial stress that follows. Even with insurance, the endless paper trail and duplication of bills can be overwhelming.
No one knows this scenario better than Dallas resident Pamela Selby Moore, diagnosed with leukemia in 1997 and underwent a bone marrow transplant in 1998. Moore, a mother of three, health care administrator and daughter of a physician and health care educator, was no stranger to health care. But by becoming a patient, Moore quickly discovered what was severely lacking.
“Our health care system does a good job providing support for the patient’s physical, mental and emotional needs, but little is available to address financial issues,” explained Moore. “The stress caused by the complicated health care systems’ bills and insurance companies can undermine the complete healing a patient needs.”
Following her own cancer recovery, Moore found herself sorting medical expenses for friends who felt confused and powerless. Using her health care savvy, plus her experience as a patient, Moore was determined to create a system that could help all patients. Thus, Medical Expense Wizard was designed and developed, empowering the patient to be in charge of the financial component of their medical experience.
“My vision was to create a patient-friendly program for non-medical individuals to fight this inequitable system that seems impossible to navigate and to address this extremely important missing financial component that creates so much stress,” added Moore. “What I discovered is that people were overpaying for their health care just because they didn’t have a good tracking system.”
As a personal medical accounting software program, Medical Expense Wizard is designed to provide patients, including Medicare patients/caregivers, the tools for easy, practical accounting and reporting capability for health care costs. It was designed and developed to record and audit medical bills easily, obtain knowledge of insurance payments and benefits, track prescription records and have a personal accounting system for audit and payment purposes, as well as year-end tax accounting.
The software is complete with a glossary of medical and insurance terms, IRS tax deduction guidelines, Medicare guidelines, state insurance commissioners, calculator and calendar. http://www.medicalexpensewizard.com/ .
