Create New Guarantors

Top Previous Next

The guarantor is the person who is responsible for the bill. Even if you are only billing the insurance company, you would still fill in the patient's name. If several patients have the same guarantor you will be able to print one statement per family. From a bookkeeping standpoint, it is much more accurate to have a statement created for each family member.

1.	Select the option for Patient Information. Highlight the patient in the list and click Select. Select the billing account. The next screen is the Patient Account Information.

2.	At the top right hand corner of the screen, click the box labeled Guarantor. This will open the Lookup Patient Guarantors screen. Click Add New to create a new guarantor or select an existing guarantor.

3.	This will take you to the Guarantor Entry screen. Here you must type a lookup code, first and last name. After you have entered all the data press the Save this Information button will appear. Click on Save this Information to finish.

SSI® Note: When you are entering an Industrial account; the program will ask you for the insurance company's name and address instead of the guarantor's name and address.
