Description
Record a transfer cost excluded under a supplied economic perspective.
Health-economic accounting distinguishes evaluation perspective, reference years, utility tariffs, timing and allocated costs. Missing resource use differs from measured zero, and a caller-supplied weight differs from a validated model correction. One cost or budget contribution does not establish cost effectiveness or an appropriate allocation of care.
Record a transfer cost excluded under a supplied economic perspective.
When to use this tool
Use Perspective Excluded Transfer Cost Tag when checking the stated supplied health-economic record, timing or allocation convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter costItemId, suppliedPerspective, exclusionSource. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty cost-item ID, supplied perspective and exclusion source. Encode them in that order as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| costItemId | Cost Item Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedPerspective | Supplied Perspective | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| exclusionSource | Exclusion Source | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

},
"output": {

}Limitations and assumptions
- The exclusion is a recorded assumption, not a determination that a transfer cost should be excluded under an evaluation guideline.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a complete justified economic model, verified sources and qualified health-economic/financial assessment for real policy or care-allocation decisions.
