Deduction recovery for supplement brands
Supplements carry high margins and heavy promotional and compliance activity — so every invalid deduction costs more and there are more of them. This is built to recover it.

Why deductions hit supplement brands
Supplement brands run heavy promotions and live under strict labeling and compliance requirements, which means promotional billbacks, MCBs, and compliance chargebacks pile up fast. Because supplement margins are high, an invalid deduction is a bigger dollar loss than in most categories — and the promotional volume makes over-billing easy to hide without line-by-line reconciliation.
The deductions that bite supplement brands hardest
Promotional billbacks & scan-downs
Heavy promotion means constant billbacks and scan-downs — recoverable when unauthorized, mis-keyed to the wrong dates or SKUs, or billed more than once.

Distributor MCBs pass promotional discounts back with a fee on top — recoverable when duplicated, applied outside the deal, or claimed with no authorization on file.
Learn more →Compliance chargebacks
Strict labeling and item-setup requirements make compliance fees common — recoverable when charged for a violation that didn't actually occur.

Why does deduction recovery matter more for supplement brands?
Supplement margins are high, so an invalid deduction is a bigger dollar loss than in most categories. Heavy promotional activity also means more billbacks and MCBs — more chances for over-billing to slip through unreconciled.
Which supplement deductions are most recoverable?
Promotional billbacks and MCBs claimed with no authorization, applied outside the agreed dates or SKUs, or billed twice. Matching every promotional deduction to a signed authorization is how you surface them.
We run a lot of promotions — how do we keep up?
Start by analyzing a remittance for free to see the promotional and MCB lines categorized. From there, self-serve software reconciles billbacks against authorizations, or hand it to us on contingency.
