Source: `Data/SAIF.Data/Queries/Claims/Ebilling/EbillQueryProvider.cs:58`

```csharp
// Data/SAIF.Data/Queries/Claims/Ebilling/EbillQueryProvider.cs:29
billRepository = Factory.GetRepository<Ebill>().Query();

## Sample SQL

> **Inferred SQL:** This SQL was inferred from the LINQ statement above and the NHibernate mappings. It is not concrete SQL from source code; NHibernate generates the executed statement at runtime, so aliases, column order, join syntax, and bind-parameter names may differ.

```sql
-- Inferred from LINQ (NHibernate mapping translation); not concrete SQL
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM EBILL E
WHERE E.CLEARINGHOUSE_CONTROL_NUM = :clearinghouseControlNumber
```

Translation notes:

- `Count(predicate)` becomes `SELECT COUNT(*)` with the predicate in `WHERE`.
