Proportionate Billing Sample Clauses

Proportionate Billing. The County uses a proportional billing process to calculate fees and charges for each inmate. As a result, if multiple jurisdictions have an open charge on an individual inmate, the jurisdictions will each share equally the fees and costs as long as an open charge persists for that jurisdiction. When a contracting jurisdiction’s charge is closed, that jurisdiction drops from the proportional billing process, and the proportional billing is recalculated without that jurisdiction. Each day the County shall examine the open charges for each active booking and apply uniform rules for determining billable charges and identifying the billable jurisdiction. The procedure employed by the County for determining the billable charges and responsible jurisdictions is outlined below and references the County’s internal billing system. The procedure continues in sequence through the outlined series of steps only so far as needed to isolate a billable charge and determine the jurisdiction responsible for payment.
