Pricing exceptions look like routine AP noise. They’re not.
30% of spend never touches a PO or contract. Spend outside a purchase order or contract can make it harder for supply chain and AP teams to identify pricing issues, recover value, and prevent repeat leakage.
Build toward prevention
Stop recurrence with root-cause visibility
Use recurring exception and root-cause visibility to strengthen controls, improve supplier accountability, and lay the groundwork for catching issues earlier in the P2P process. Address paid or accepted exceptions today while building the intelligence to resolve recurring issues earlier.
Support recovery
Pursue recovery with evidence and workflow
Give supply chain and AP teams the contract context, evidence and managed-services support they need to pursue recovery and resolve supplier disputes more efficiently.
UNCOVER LEAKAGE
Expose exceptions before they’re accepted as loss
Connect invoice and contract data to expose price, invoice, and contract exceptions across suppliers, facilities, and categories before they’re accepted as loss. Organize exceptions so teams focus on the issues with the greatest impact, instead of chasing routine AP noise.

Common questions
Answers to the questions supply chain and AP teams ask most about P2P price assurance.
Recovery audits find historical overpayments after the money is gone. P2P price assurance supports recovery too — but it also identifies recurring issues and root causes so the same errors stop happening. It’s recovery plus prevention, not just a look backward. Most alternatives either recover historical overpayments or automate the transaction. Vizient connects healthcare-specific contract and invoice intelligence with the evidence and action needed to protect negotiated value. Recovery today, prevention tomorrow.
No. Those systems process and match transactional documents. Document matching isn’t the same as validating the line-level price against current healthcare contract intelligence. P2P price assurance adds healthcare contract intelligence and evidence to evaluate whether the line-level price should have been charged. It complements, not replaces, your existing purchasing, AP, and transaction workflows.
Spend analytics helps you see patterns across your data. Price Assurance goes further by checking individual prices against contract terms, identifying variances and helping teams resolve them through recovery or prevention. Vizient combines healthcare contract intelligence, supplier and GPO context, and workflow support to turn findings into action.
Start with a focused baseline: test high-volume suppliers, categories, or facilities to size recoverable and preventable leakage. A quick baseline answers whether the opportunity justifies a broader rollout and identifies the common causes of leakage to address first. What percent of your invoices require manual price validation or exception review today? A focused starting point answers whether it’s worth it.
Most alternatives either recover historical overpayments or automate the transaction. Can your current vendor tell you what the correct healthcare contract price should be, and distinguish a true overcharge from an allowable pricing condition? Vizient brings healthcare contract intelligence, supplier and GPO context, and workflow automation from detection to action. We evaluate pricing against healthcare contract terms, supplier relationships, and purchasing conditions — not generic document matching.
