What is Outsource Purchasing? |
Outsourcing applies when a company contracts a part of its work to an outside agency. The agency works from its own facility, using its own equipment, technology and personnel. Businesses will often seek
outside sources for professional services, such as accounting, payroll and legal professionals. By the same token, your practice can benefit from the services of a professional purchasing agent. Outsourcing your
purchasing with MedCost makes good financial sense! Consider the salary and benefit requirements of the staff people currently involved in purchasing your supplies. Could their time be better spent managing your patient
care? Our purchasing professionals work for you! We utilize our own personnel, computers, software and office space.
A Group Purchasing Organization can offer valuable services and good vendor discounts to practices. However, GPO discounts usually apply to only a fraction of the items you use. The contracts are
typically presented through a series of preferred manufacturers and vendors, and it is incumbent upon the end user (you) to do the purchasing and quantify the savings.
MedCost negotiates everything you use – office
supplies, clinical supplies, and pharmaceuticals, forms, printing and capital equipment. We are able to cater to physician preferences and negotiate all brands with a variety of vendors and manufacturers. MedCost
places the orders, follows through to completion and handles all customer service. MedCost is a fully functional purchasing department for your facility. MedCost will quantify savings for you and provide you
with comprehensive administrative reports to help you track your expenses.
Our staff is professional and knowledgeable with extensive experience in purchasing and healthcare. Because we do become an extension of our client offices, our clients feel comfortable consulting with us,
sharing ideas with us, and requesting research and information. These benefits are not billable, but simply value added services. Additionally, MedCost provides administrative reports and evaluates purchasing trends
in the industry as well as individually for each client. MedCost has negotiated discounted services that can help our clients save money – cellular phone services, biohazard waste management programs, benefits
management programs, biomed services and more!
