A1-1230.1, B1-4230.1
The servicing contractor furnishes the receiving contractor an appropriate estimate of the
costs described in §100 by activity.
The estimates are submitted on the Activity Form by cost category. For provider audit, it
furnishes the Contractor Auditing and Settlement Report with applicable activities and
columns completed. ( See §290.) The estimate for these services includes all direct, and
an equitable share of indirect, costs expected. All estimates are in accordance with the
principle that neither the contractor providing the service nor the contractor receiving the
service incurs a profit or loss on the transaction. The contractor shall not include related
estimated costs as part of its budget submission. It shall furnish this information to the
receiving contractor.
