billing

Sending payment requests

Billing is the process of preparing and sending invoices for goods or services: The hospital's billing department handles insurance claims.

In entertainment, billing refers to the prominence of a performer's name in credits or advertisements—top billing means your name appears first and largest: She received second billing behind the lead actor.

As a compound, billing appears in terms like billing cycle and billing address.
