How It Works 

  • Configure a rate in Fee Schedule, Charge Master, or Contract Rates.
  • Enter the rate using up to three decimal places, such as $0.048 per unit.
  • The system stores the configured rate without prematurely rounding it.
  • When the rate is used for billing, the calculation engine uses the full stored precision to calculate the total charge.
  • The total charge is calculated based on the configured Unit Rate multiplied by the applicable Units.
  • Where required, the final total is rounded according to standard currency formatting for display and claim submission.
