The world of GPOs is complex. The dirty little secret in the GPOWorld is that most providers don’t know what they are and those that do, generally don’t know how to use one to their advantage.
We get asked weekly, “What is a GPO and how could it affect me?”
Our answer is simple, “Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) use the BUYING POWER of thousands to negotiate for better pricing for their members. This equals instant savings for anyone who joins the GPO.”
It’s not a secret that many of our members don’t fully understand the benefit of belonging to a buying group like ours. We’re here to tell you, that’s okay!
Every medical provider joins a GPO for savings. So how do you maximize your participation in a GPO and more specifically, how do you leverage the buying power of The MedResults Network?
