How do I record a payment from an ex employee who is reimbursing us monthly for COBRA coverage?

We have a terminated employee who sends us a monthly check for her COBRA continuation health insurance coverage. How do I apply this payment to reflect that it's for our health insurance vendor, even though the check is made out to our company?

I suggest use a contra-expense account right below the health insurance expense account, where the expense account has a debit balance and contra account has a credit balance for the amount you receive for Cobra.

 

For example:

Account 6400 Health Insurance Expense     $1000

Account 6401 Health Insurance - Cobra        ($100)
