Hello teachers,

Would you help me with following two sentences?
What does "bill back ~ with・・・ "mean?

1) Paramedics/Emergency Technicians are obtaining the
right information to bill back patients with insurance

2) "Bill back customers with a detailed view of data center energy consumption ~"

Sincerely Crying or Very sad

1. Paramedics/Emergency Technicians are obtaining the
right information to bill back patients with insurance.
Paraphrase: Paramedics are getting the information to charge patients who have insurance for their services.

2. "Bill back customers with a detailed view of data center energy consumption ~"
This one I am not sure of. Are you sure you quoted this correctly? Can you fill in the rest of the quotation?

Hello CP,

Thank you for your reply.

The full sentence of the second one is :
"Bill back customers with a detailed view of data center energy consumption by user-defined groups, e.g., department, type of equipment or applications"
(http://www.gocsc.com/featured/)

Would you please help me once again?

Sincerely
