# Open the admission's billing account

> Finds or creates the admission's billing account and links it to the admission. Pass `priceListId` to bill a newly created account against that price list. Safe to call again — an existing account is returned.

The admission must be on new billing (`use_new_billing`); otherwise this returns 409. Returns 503 when billing is not configured on the server, and 502 when the billing service fails.
