Responsible-party (guarantor) demographics from Elation Billing, one row per patient rather than per guarantor - whoever is financially responsible for the patient’s account, often the patient themselves, sometimes a parent, spouse, or other party. HDB patient remains the source of truth for the patient’s own demographics; this table carries only the responsible-party fields, which have no EHR equivalent. This table’s columns and relationships are shown in the Hosted Database schema.
patient_guarantor.patient_id joins to patient.id and is null when the Elation Billing patient does not map to an EHR patient. The responsible party’s SSN is intentionally not exposed.
For reporting on but not limited to:
  • Responsible-party contact details for billing follow-up
  • Patients whose guarantor is someone other than themselves
  • Guarantor mailing addresses for statements
