Registration of Kidney Donor???

[Guest guest]

When registering a kidney donor in the computer system at the wound center for post-donation complications, I realize the recip’s insurance is to be entered and billed. What I am not sure of is who is listed as the guarantor, donor or

recipient?

A registration employee advised that the only time a patient is not their own guarantor is when they are not responsible for the billing (ex: homeless, DCFS, prisoner, etc.). In my opinion, this is no different since the donor is not to

be held liable for this billing.

Should the recipient be listed as the guarantor since he is the one responsible for the billing?
