• BillingAccountType MUST be present in a FOCUS dataset when the provider supports more than one possible BillingAccountType value.
• BillingAccountType MUST be of type String.
• BillingAccountType MUST conform to StringHandling requirements.
• BillingAccountType nullability is defined as follows:
  • BillingAccountType MUST be null when BillingAccountId is null.
