I went to the dentist last month for a root canal and had to pay out of
pocket for the costs and I was reimbursed later on, but not the full amount
of the cost. I have an account, Expenses:Medical:Dental, which I usually
charge against. The idea behind this account is that at the end of the year
it should tell me my out of pocket expenses which I can claim on my income
taxes.
Here is what I did to track the transactions:
; inital transactions at the dentist - full amount on credit card
2019-04-12 * "Dentist" "Root Canal"
Expenses:Medical:Dental 1500.00 CAD ; I was billed this amount by the
dentist
Liabilities:CreditCard
; reimbursement from insurance
2019-04-16 * "Insurance" "Medical Expense reimbursement for Root Canal"
Income:Company:Medical -1000.00 CAD ; This is what I was reimbursed
Assets:Chequing
; apply reimbursement to credit card
2019-04-19 * "Credit Card" "Medical Expense reimbursement for Root Canal"
Liabilities:CreditCard 1000.00 CAD
Assets:Chequing
; apply the reimbursement amount to the Expenses:Medical:Dental so that it
accurately tracks unimbursed costs
2019-04-19 * "Dentist" "Root Canal"
Income:Other:PartialReimburse 1000.00 CAD
Expenses:Medical:Dental
I am not sure that it is done correctly, but when I check the balanes of
the Expenses:Medical:Dental account it is correct. Any advice would be
great.
