Medical - Medical: Health Care
German term or phrase: Faktor
Hello,

I have this term "Faktor" in an invoice for medical services. The word stands alone, but a sample of the context:

Gebühr: 139,89; **Faktor**: 1,800; Betrag: 251,80

The total obviously includes the Gebühr calculated with this "Faktor".

Anyone? Would "factor" be meaningful in English?

Thanks!
