Healthcare and Life Sciences: Finance Operations
Healthcare finance operations include accounts payable, provider and vendor payments, revenue cycle reconciliation, contract and rebate accounting, and month-end close. Analysts work across the ERP, bank and remittance files, vendor portals, spreadsheets and email. Exceptions such as three-way match failures, remittance mismatches and contract price disputes account for much of the manual effort.
