Per-line pricing
Charging for an estimate based on the number of line items it contains, so bigger scopes cost more.
On a real claim
Per-line pricing is charging for an estimate based on the number of line items it contains, so a bigger scope costs more. On a claim the line count is a direct driver of the price, which is why a clean, necessary scope matters more than a padded one. What goes wrong: padding the estimate with lines the job does not need raises the bill and the carrier catches it. Check that every line earns its place before you submit.
