The Guarantor section records the information related to the person guaranteeing this patient's fees.
By default, the Guarantor is the patient and the Self as Guarantor check mark appears. However, you can assign another person as a guarantor. The guarantor must have a patient file created for him/her prior to assigning him/her to a patient as the guarantor.
The Select Guarantor button displays a listing of all patients from which you can select the person guaranteeing the patient's service charges. You will receive a message confirming that you wish to change the guarantor before you are allowed to proceed.
Once a guarantor is selected, his/her information is entered in the display screen automatically. Note that you can use the Auto Dialer function as well as the e-mail function to communicate with the guarantor.
In the case that you try to assign a guarantor to a person already guaranteeing another person's bills, you will be presented with the following message to confirm that you want the guarantor to accept responsibility for the Patient..
Guarantor List of Patients
This section has a second tab which displays all patients for which this person is a guarantor with the current amounts due. This screen also allows patients to be removed from the guarantor list.
From this screen you are able to add or remove a patient from the guarantor's list. Choose the Open File button on a patient record if you want to open that patient file.
