Molly;

   This is a different model than we are used to in the VA.  It doesn't mean
that it can't be done, it is just not the way we run our hospitals.  I
suspect that the housekeeping and laundry are bundled into the price of the
room/bed (this may not be a standard in the whole US, I have no idea).   I
am saying that we are not familiar with this billing option.  Might we
extend IFCAP or Fee Basis to include this functionality.  Interesting.
There may be other and better fits for this functionality.  It may be it's
own functionality, but probably should report to the general accounting
package.

   The more detail that can be provided, the better we can identify where it
goes, or is it completely new functionality.

      Best wishes;   Chris
