Record a service and service costs

The Department, counties, regions, and providers offer various type of services for members in family cases. The services offered through these groups are established in TFACTS for selection on case records. For each type of service, the State has defined a default cost to be used to calculate service payment amounts. On a case-by-case basis, a different standard of compensation can be defined for services.

Follow these steps to record a service and define service costs.
