The Client: One of America’s largest long-term care and rehabilitation services providers, employing over thirty thousand employees in a twelve states, asked Chase Cost Management for a no-cost audit of their non-medical supplies.
The Issue: This premiere medical organization was considering joining a group purchasing organization (GPO), but first wanted to evaluate its current office supply contracts.
The Solution: Chase Cost Management evaluated the organization’s current office supplies contract as well as total costs under the proposed GPO provider arrangement. CCM was able to establish better-than-GPO pricing with the office supply vendor, which the client chose instead of joining the GPO. In addition, we instituted a robust rebate initiative that saved the health care provider more than $700,000 annually along with quarterly audits and usage monitoring to keep the core list efficient.
