Three Systems. $100M. One Grueling Monthly Process.

The Physician Billing division of a large regional health system processes payments across a high volume of providers, payers, and transaction types. Every month, the finance team faced the same ordeal: manually reconciling transactions across three separate systems that don’t speak to each other—the bank, the invoicing platform, and the payment processor’s activity ledger. At $100M+ in monthly volume, the stakes were high and the margin for error was zero.

Data Fragmentation

Bank receipts, invoicing records, and payment ledger entries existed in siloed systems with different formats, identifiers, and timing conventions.

Volume & Complexity

Reconciling $100M+ in monthly transactions meant manually cross-referencing thousands of entries, any one of which could hide a discrepancy.

Time Cost

The process consumed 4 full business days every month—skilled finance staff performing repetitive, error-prone matching work with no time for analysis.

Bridging Three Sources of Financial Truth

The reconciliation engine ingests, normalizes, and cross-validates data from all three systems in a single automated run.

🏦
Bank Receipts

Raw deposit and payment records directly from the banking institution’s transaction feed.

📄
Invoicing System

Customer invoice records, payment terms, and expected receipt amounts from the billing platform.

⚙️
Payment Processor Ledger

The payment processing team’s activity ledger tracking processed transactions, fees, and settlements.

Logical Rules + AI Working in Tandem

The system combines deterministic matching logic with AI-driven exception handling—giving it the precision of rules-based reconciliation and the intelligence to resolve ambiguous cases.

01
Data Ingestion & Normalization

The system pulls current-month data from all three sources, normalizing formats, currencies, date conventions, and transaction identifiers into a unified schema.

02
Logical Rule Matching

Deterministic rules attempt to match every transaction across all three systems by amount, reference number, date proximity, and counterparty. Clean matches are confirmed automatically.

03
AI Exception Resolution

Transactions that fail rule-based matching are passed to AI, which reasons over partial matches, timing differences, fee deductions, and split payments to resolve edge cases intelligently.

04
Discrepancy Flagging & AI Guidance

Any transaction that cannot be reconciled by logic or AI is flagged with a detailed explanation and confidence score. The AI then generates specific, actionable guidance on the steps required to resolve each outstanding item—so the team knows exactly what to do, not just what went wrong.

05
Validation Report Generation

A complete reconciliation report is generated in minutes: matched totals, unresolved items with AI-authored resolution guidance, accuracy rate, and a full audit trail—ready for finance sign-off with a clear action plan already in hand.

4 Days → 4 Minutes

The most dramatic result isn’t just time saved—it’s the transformation of reconciliation from a month-end crisis into a routine, invisible process.

AI-Guided Resolution for Every Exception

Flagged items don’t just arrive with a problem description—the AI generates specific, step-by-step guidance on the actions needed to resolve each one, cutting investigation and correction time from hours to minutes.

“We used to dread the last week of every month. Now reconciliation just… happens. We get a report, review the flagged items—which are almost nothing—and we’re done. The team can’t believe we ever did this by hand.”
