CABS Auxilliary Report Specifications (CARS)
DOCUMENT SUMMARY

Summary:

This document represents the Ordering and Billing Forum (OBF) Billing Committee requirement to create a document of CABS Auxilliary Report Specifications (CARS) not associated with the CABS Billing Output Specifications (BOS).

The CARS are guidelines for providing standard reports and/or standard mechanized file layouts, while appropriate.  These standards will not be documented in the CABS BOS.  The following guidelines apply to report outputs which are documented in CARS.
 

• CARS will not be used for the development of industry standard report outputs for data which can be derived from the bill or CSR.
• Implementation of CARS outputs, such as timing, content, media, etc. will be negotiated between the individual customers and providers.
