What happens if no guarantor account or coverage is linked at the end of scheduling?

When no guarantor account or coverage is linked at the end of scheduling, the system generates an error message. This is an important safeguard in the scheduling process, as a guarantor account or coverage is essential for billing purposes. Without this information, the system cannot ensure that there is a responsible party for payment, which is critical for the financial aspects of the service being scheduled. The error message serves as a prompt for the user to establish the necessary account or coverage before proceeding, thereby ensuring all billing protocols are followed correctly. This helps maintain the integrity of the scheduling and billing processes within the Epic system.
