Choose whether you need to turn "Billing Unit Rounded" on.

The Drug Utilization Detail Report reports on AWP and Acquisition Costs.  Default is "Billing Unit Rounded" off.  This gives you the quantity value that was taken from inventory to fill the order.  "Billing Unit Rounded" on will use the Billing Multiplier set in the Defaults Tab of the Formulary to give the quantity in terms of the dose times the billing multiplier.

Example:  Patients were given EPOGEN 4000 Units / ml.  Billing multiplier is set to 4, since it is billed at 1000 Unit increments.

Patient 1 given 4000 Units = one vial

Patient 2 given 6000 Units = one vial plus half of another

Patient 3 given 2000 Units = one half vial

Example 1 Results with "Billing Unit Rounded" - OFF

Patient 1 = Qty 1

Patient 2 = Qty 2

Patient 3 = Qty 1

Total = 4

Example 2 Results with "Billing Unit Rounded" - ON

Patient 1 = Qty 1

Patient 2 = Qty 1.5

Patient 3 = Qty  0.5

Total = 3
