Bring Bill-Only Procurement into the Connected Supply Chain
Bill-Only Procurement Remains Outside the Connected Supply Chain
Bill-only procurement still relies on disconnected systems and workflows. Separate provider and supplier sources of truth, misaligned data and limited interoperability create exceptions, manual work and rework that slow procurement and limit purchasing control.
Connect the Bill-Only Workflow Across Providers and Suppliers
GHX Marketplace Bill Only uses connected intelligence to align provider and supplier data, creating a trusted, shared view of up to 100% of bill-only orders. Instead of optimizing disconnected parts of the process, teams are participating in the same bill-only workflow and can keep work moving forward. This connected workflow helps reduce workflow debt— exceptions, manual reconciliation and rework— while strengthening purchasing control from procedure through payment and improving operational and financial performance.

Bringing Bill-Only Procurement into the Connected Supply Chain
Josh Skiba has spent 22 years watching the healthcare supply chain evolve, and solving bill-only has long been a priority. As GHX's Director of Industry Solutions and Adoption, Josh explains how connected intelligence gives supply chain teams a trusted, shared view of bill-only orders. That view strengthens purchasing control and helps shorten a 35-day procedure-to-payment cycle to less than two days.
