What type of information is held in a "guarantor account"?

The guarantor account is specifically used to hold information about the guarantor, who is often the individual responsible for paying the medical bills associated with a patient’s care. This information typically includes the guarantor's contact details, such as their name, address, and phone number. Having accurate and accessible guarantor information is crucial for billing purposes, as it allows the billing office to communicate effectively with the person liable for payment, especially if there are issues related to billing or payment collections.

In terms of the other options, while details about the patient's insurance provider are important for billing (as they provide insights into coverage and payment responsibilities), they are not housed in the guarantor account. Similarly, contact information for the provider's billing department is relevant for internal operations but does not fit within the scope of what a guarantor account is designed to manage. Lastly, while a history of patient medical treatments is vital for medical records and billing codes, it does not pertain to the guarantor's financial responsibility disclosures or contact details. All in all, the guarantor account is focused specifically on the individual's responsibility for payment, encapsulating their relevant information without straying into other areas of the billing process.
