BilledCost

BilledCost is the charge that appears for a record in the billing currency after negotiated pricing and applicable adjustments. It answers what the provider billed, rather than the economic cost after commitment amortization.

It is the default cash-basis amount for a future Meridian FOCUS import profile.

In Meridian, BilledCost maps to the ledger amount used by cash-basis reporting.
