A medical receipt is issued to a patient as proof of payment for healthcare services, medication, or related goods. It confirms what was paid for, the amount charged, the payment date, and any portion of the bill covered by insurance. All purchases should be listed separately to help patients track expenses and identify eligible tax deductions.

There is no single federal retention standard for medical receipts. Instead, state law typically requires them to be kept for about 5 to 10 years, and longer when the patient is a minor.
Providers should review their state’s regulations to confirm the applicable retention period.
