Comprehensive Recovery Audit Solutions

Many firms limit their reviews to typical Accounts Payable Recovery areas such as Duplicate Payments, Statement and Overpayment Audits. Our process is different. We extend our audits well beyond the typical Accounts Payable Recovery Audit engagement. In addition to a Duplicate Payment Audit and a Statement Audit, we dig much deeper and find the majority of our recoveries in areas not typically reviewed by the other firms.

Typical recovery audit categories include:

Medical & Surgical Supplies

  • Most favored pricing (GPO vs. local supplier agreements)
  • Reconciliation of unrealized allowances and rebates
  • Review consigned inventory pricing
  • Unit price comparison of returns to original purchase
  • Review inappropriate handling charges
  • Freight & Delivery overcharges
  • Product returns

Pharmacy

  • Formulary Rebates
  • Pricing (UOM, Generic, OTC)
  • 340B
  • Duplicate payments
  • Dosing/Package Size
  • Performance Guarantees

See what our clients say...

I have used AP Recovery Audit firms in the past and I was extremely pleased with SAS services and absolutely loved Mitch. The meetings were extremely productive, and Mitch offered a lot of advice on best practices. His team was also great with following up, communication and knew their way around PeopleSoft. The Vault is extremely user friendly and provides great reporting & audit trail. I highly recommend SAS for AP Audits.

- Sanchere Evans Manager Accounts Payable, Tampa General Hospital

I was highly impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness of the entire SAS team. The A/P recovery audit was well managed, minimally disruptive to operations, and identified unexpected recovery dollars and patterns enabling further tightening of controls and processes. The lead on the engagement was highly proficient with the software we use and required no training on our systems. I would highly recommend SAS for an A/P recovery engagement.
