Copay: the out-of-pocket expense that is the patient's responsibility.
Coinsurance: the percentage that the patient pays after the insurance deductible has been met or exceeded.

Last Visit: the date that the patient was last seen.
Auto Bill Patient: this checkbox specifies that the patient is responsible for payment in case the deductible has not been met or an item is not covered by insurance.
Signature on File: this checkbox indicates that the insurance company is authorized to pay the clinic directly.
Info Release Authorized: this checkbox indicates that the patient has signed paperwork authorizing the clinic to release their PHI to the insurance company.
Inactive: this checkbox determines whether the patient is active or inactive in the EMR. This does not delete the patient. It merely removes the patient from the search results.

Guarantor: the Guarantor is the person that is responsible for payment. This field can be left blank if patients themselves are the Guarantors. The options available in this drop-down can be created by clicking Persons & Institutions | Guarantors. Although this is not a free text field, typing the name of the guarantor will assist in the search process
Assigned Provider: the Provider that is assigned to the patient.
Assigned Facility: the primary Facility where the patient is most commonly seen.
Patient Type: the Patient Type is used to group patients together by demographics (Example: Adult, Adolescent, etc.). The options that are available in this drop-down box are created by clicking Reference Data | Patient Types

The options that are available in this drop-down box are created by clicking Reference Data | Patient Notifications. Example: Do Not Schedule - History of No Show.
