Carepoint Member Testimonials
“I just don’t have the time or resources to watch over and contract with all our vendors. Carepoint GPO saves me time and money. One less thing to worry about.”
Troy Fuller, Practice Administrator
“Carepoint has become a powerful tool in trimming and fine-tuning the bottom line of our practice. The cost savings of medical and office supplies and equipment is complimented by the savings of employees’ time in finding the lowest possible cost.”
Lee Mecham, Practice Manager
“Carepoint’s supply chain management services have reduced our bottom line in yearly expenditures for medical supplies, equipment, and pharmaceuticals. If we have a question or need a piece of equipment, we only have to pick up the phone, Carepoint does the research and the legwork, allowing our personnel to take care of patients, not problems.”
Dan Liston, Administrator
Carepoint FAQs
What is a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO)?
A GPO combines the buying power of all our members, making it possible for each of our members to have lower pricing because of the large group’s power to negotiate discounts with top vendors.
Is there a long-term contract?
You do have to turn in an application, giving Carepoint authority to connect you to the contracts we have available. There may be additional paperwork if you are already connected to a different GPO, or if required by a specific vendor (i.e. credit application). Still, you are not committing to a term. You may leave Carepoint at any time.
Will my purchasing process change if I join Carepoint?
No, Carepoint will let your contracted vendors know you are now a Carepoint member. We will work with these vendors to connect you to our contracts. The only change in how you are currently purchasing will be the price of the products you order!
How much can I expect to save?
If you are not currently on a GPO:
- Approximately 10-17% on medical/surgical supplies
- Approximately 8-19% on office supplies/equipment
- Approximately 9-20% on laboratory supplies/services
- Approximately 6-17% on pharmaceuticals
If you are on a GPO already:
- An additional 4-10% on medical/surgical supplies
- An additional 2-8% on office supplies/equipment
- An additional 5-9% on laboratory supplies/services
- An additional 3-6% on pharmaceuticals
With more than 2600 contracts, there are many more areas for saving
