Entering coverage detail is a combination of defining a guarantor and the insurance information. The guarantor information is all personal information about the guarantor documented in the Patient Details - Edit Personal chapter. The guarantor information is found in the two left side gray boxes of the Coverage Detail.
The insurance information found in the right side gray box of the Coverage Detail contains the insurance information. When this block is selected an edit dialog opens with the middle panel similar to the image at the right.
