Description
A Charge Description provides a high-level context of a row without requiring additional discovery. This column is a self-contained summary of the charge's purpose and price. It typically covers a select group of corresponding details across a billing dataset or provides information not otherwise available.
The ChargeDescription column MUST be present in a FOCUS dataset, MUST be of type String, and SHOULD NOT be null. Providers SHOULD specify the length of this column in their publicly available documentation.
