Accelerating the digitization of B2B payments in healthcare, presented by Mastercard

Healthcare remains the “final frontier” for payment modernization in B2B payments — still heavily reliant on fragmented, manual processes, non-digital payments via paper checks, disconnected systems, and delayed reconciliation between money movement and the necessary underlying healthcare transaction data. These inefficiencies create opacity, increase risk, delay access to care, and magnify misaligned incentives across all stakeholders - from payers to providers, and patients— who all expect seamless, digital-first experiences.

Through innovation and cross-ecosystem collaboration, we can move the needle by embedding modern financial technology into these outdated processes, driving simplicity, enabling better access, affordability, and health outcomes while also building the foundation for the healthcare payments infrastructure of the future.

In this session, Jacques Fu, SVP, Healthcare Commercial Payments, Mastercard will discuss:

• How “consumerization” of healthcare presents an opportunity for the ecosystem
• How can we be ready for the near-future as technologies such as agentic commerce come to healthcare
