you have paid)

5. Interface fee of $1,000.00
6. Interface fee for billing of $1,000.00

The facility will be responsible for paying for the Micromedex clinical data

the client at $750.00 per day plus airfare, lodging and rental car.
Please note the hardware requirements for Version 10
and higher.
Interfaces Costs with the Windows product
All interfaces with the Windows product

this standard then each of the following interfaces is available:

time fee and then $600.00 per year maintenance. For example: the facility
wants an ADT and Charges interface. This is $2,000.00 one time and then $1,000
