Vendor overbilling

Sourcing and Procurement

Definition

Vendor overbilling is when a supplier invoices a hospital for more than the contracted price or the goods actually delivered. It is one of the most common forms of avoidable supply chain leakage and is most reliably caught at the point the charge is created, not in retrospective audit.
