Unreconciled Premium Contributions Leading to Revenue Loss
Definition
In contribution reconciliation for insurance and employee benefits, premiums collected from policyholders or employee deductions fail to match recorded receivables or policies issued due to discrepancies in records. This results in undetected unbilled or undercollected contributions, causing ongoing revenue shortfalls. Systemic manual processes exacerbate mismatches between payroll deductions and carrier invoices.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Substantial losses (not quantified; scale-dependent on insurer size)
- Frequency: Monthly
- Root Cause: Manual data entry errors between enrollment systems, payroll, and carrier statements without full reconciliation to deductions and remittances
