Which of the following best describes the role of the Charge Description Master (CDM) in Resolute pricing?

The pricing backbone in Resolute is the Charge Description Master, which defines the charge descriptions and links each service to its price and billing attributes. When a claim is created, the system looks up the appropriate CDM entry for each line item to determine the exact price to apply, including the rate, unit, and any billing rules that govern that service. This makes the CDM the authoritative source for how charges are priced on every claim line, so pricing isn’t handled separately or ignored. If a service’s price is updated in the CDM, the new price automatically flows into subsequent billings.
