Why the accounting is different here
Healthcare income is a puzzle of cash, medical aid and shortfalls, with strict stock controls on scheduled drugs. Getting medical aid claims paid on time is often the single biggest cash-flow lever in the business.
- Medical aid claims paid short or delayed
- Scheduled drug stock control and expiries
- Split between practice income and locum earnings
- PAYE on associate doctors — employee vs contractor
- VAT on drugs vs services vs consumables
- Medical & Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe
- Medicines Control Authority (MCAZ)
- AHFoZ medical aid billing rules
- ZIMRA — VAT, PAYE, QPDs

A real example
A private practice had ZWG 180,000 in unpaid medical aid claims older than 120 days. The receptionist was submitting claims but no one was following up rejections.
We introduced a weekly ageing report, resubmitted rejected claims with corrected codes and recovered 70% of the old balance within 90 days. Cash flow smoothed out and the practice added a second consulting room.
