1. What is the difference between a patient record and a guarantor record?:
A patient record represents the person receiving care. It contains the
demographic information for the patient
and the patient's chart. The guarantor record represents the person
responsible for the charges. It contains the
name of the guarantor and the address where the bill will be sent.
2. True or False:
A hospital account contains the information about the person ultimately re-
sponsible for the charges incurred during a visit.: False. The Hospital
Account (HAR) is the hub for a visit that allows a user to see information
stored
elsewhere. The Guarantor Account record stores the information about a
person or entity ultimately
,responsible for remaining balances for a visit. Serving as a hub the HAR
allows the user to see the guarantor
and guarantor information without having to look up the guarantor
separately. The guarantor's information,
however, is not stored in the HAR.

Coverage.

the per- son who ultimately pays the bill. The responsible party or
guarantor may be the patient, guardian, or employer.

combination of a payor, plan, and subscriber.
