Specify the patient's financial guarantor

A financial guarantor is a third party who promises to provide payment on a bond, loan, or other liability in the event of default. While many guarantees apply to debt instruments, they may also be used for day-to-day expenses, such as those incurred during an incident.

1. (If you have not done so already) Add a new incident, or open an existing incident, as described in Add or edit an incident.

   By default, the Response tab and Incident Information sub-tab are selected.

2. Click the Patient tab, and then click the Demographics sub-tab.

   Fields for specifying the information about the patient appear on the left side of the interface.

   Tip: If the patient already exists in FH Medic from a previous incident, you can pull up the patient's existing data, as described in Search for a patient. If you have a driver's license scanner available, you can read the patient's information from their driver's license, as described in Read information from a driver's license.

3. Scroll down through the fields until the Financial Guarantor section appears.

   

4. Under Financial Guarantor, enter data as described in Understand the interface and data entry in it.
