CONTRACT MANAGEMENT THE SPARKCHANGE WAY
Know What You’re Owed – Before You’re Paid
Turn contract complexity into financial clarity with connected, intelligent, data-driven workflows.
Most revenue cycle teams can’t see what should have been paid until it’s too late. SparkChange Contract Management uses your data to calculate expected reimbursement, integrate insights into systems like CPA, and automate variance resolution.
The result is transparent AR valuation and smarter, faster decisions.
Connecting Contracts, Claims, and Cash
Managing contracts in the revenue cycle shouldn’t be an exercise in guesswork. Yet, most organizations struggle to connect payer agreements, expected reimbursement, and payment outcomes in one cohesive process.
Our Contract Management changes that.
Built for professional claims, SparkChange Contract Management delivers a configurable contract infrastructure that calculates expected reimbursement per claim and line item, integrates those insights into your operational environment, and automates variance workflows once remits arrive.
The result is a smarter, data-backed foundation for contract management that improves AR valuation, enables better appeal strategies, and drives measurable financial accuracy.
Filling the Gaps Left in Your System
For teams using Oracle’s Contractual Contract Management (CCM) and Cerner Patient Accounting (CPA), the challenge is clear: there is no direct integration or mechanism for incorporating expected reimbursement into active claims.
Our Contract Management closes that gap.
By generating expected reimbursement data that can be posted into CPA, SparkChange Contract Management creates a true netting layer for in-flight claims. This turns static, post-adjudication reconciliation into a proactive process where you can see what should have been paid and take action when it isn’t.
With downstream automations, SparkChange Contract Management can also resolve small-balance variances within CPA, eliminating non-value touches and freeing up staff to focus on exceptions that actually matter.
Three Ways SparkChange Contract Management Delivers
1. Contract Intelligence
Model payer contracts with precision. Determine expected reimbursement per claim and gain analytics visibility through configurable dashboards that highlight performance, payer trends, and contractual compliance.
2. Expected Reimbursement Integration
Feed expected reimbursement into your operational systems, including CPA, to value AR more accurately, inform forecasting, and strengthen appeal workflows.
3. Automated Variance Resolution
When 835 remits are received, SparkChange Contract Management powers automations that close small-balance variances and flag true underpayments, ensuring teams work smarter, not harder.
How It Works
Step 1: Input
SparkChange ingests post-scrubber 837p claim files directly from your production environment.
Step 2: Contract Intelligence
We apply our configurable contract infrastructure, built alongside your team’s experts, to determine expected reimbursement per line item based on payer contracts and logic.
Step 3: Integration
Expected reimbursement data is securely stored for downstream use and can be posted directly into CPA to create a netted, in-flight claim view.
Step 4: Automation
When 835 remittance files are received, SparkChange SparkActions automations reconcile small-balance variances and identify true underpayments.
Step 5: Insight
Results flow into the Spark360 dashboard, providing real-time analytics on payer performance, reimbursement accuracy, and financial trends that give leadership a clear view of cash expectations and outcomes.
The SparkChange Difference
Where other tools stop at calculation, SparkChange Contract Management operationalizes your data, enabling you to take action.
We configure your contract models alongside your internal experts, leverage post-scrubber 837p files for precision, and store reimbursement intelligence that’s ready for analytics, workflow automation, and AR strategy.
It’s not just another contract module. It’s a connected, data-first approach to managing what you’re owed, when you’re owed it, and why.
