Choosing a group purchasing organization should be about more than gaining access to a list of contracts. The right GPO should help your organization identify opportunities, simplify purchasing, make better use of available contracts, and get more value from the dollars you already spend.
MediGroup combines the purchasing power of a healthcare GPO with the flexibility, expertise, and personal support non-acute healthcare organizations need.
We help members access competitive contracts and purchasing solutions without taking control away from the people who know their organizations and patients best.
Your organization stays in control.
Your organization should decide what products to use, which suppliers to work with, and how purchasing decisions are made. MediGroup does not require members to purchase specific products or use every available contract. Members choose the agreements and opportunities that make sense for their organization. That flexibility allows practices to pursue savings while maintaining valued supplier relationships, product preferences, clinical standards, and physician autonomy.
The purchasing needs of a physician practice, ambulatory surgery center, urgent care organization, imaging center, or multi-location medical group can be very different from those of an acute-care hospital. MediGroup focuses on the non-acute healthcare market and understands those differences. Our experience across healthcare specialties and organizational structures helps us connect members with purchasing opportunities that reflect how they actually operate—from independent practices to organizations managing purchasing across many locations.
Healthcare organizations purchase far more than medical supplies. MediGroup helps members identify potential value across clinical supplies, pharmaceuticals, capital equipment, technology, office products, facility services, shipping, business services, and many other areas of organizational spend. A broader view of purchasing can uncover opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked and allows organizations to look beyond individual product prices toward overall purchasing performance.
Joining MediGroup does not necessarily mean changing the way you purchase. Members can continue ordering through the medical supply distributors and suppliers they trust. MediGroup works with members, participating suppliers, and distributors to help connect eligible purchases with available contract pricing. The goal is to strengthen your purchasing strategy—not disrupt relationships that already work for your organization.
Contract access only creates value when organizations can put those contracts to work. The MediGroup team helps members navigate the contract portfolio, identify relevant opportunities, address pricing questions, connect with suppliers, and understand how available programs may fit their purchasing needs. Whether you have a question about an everyday supply item or are preparing for a significant capital purchase, you have a resource available to help you evaluate your options.
Some savings opportunities are straightforward. Others require a closer look at purchasing data, supplier relationships, equipment needs, contract utilization, or purchasing activity across multiple locations. MediGroup can support organizations at both levels.
For an independent practice, that may mean improving pricing on products already being purchased through a preferred distributor. For a growing medical group, it may mean evaluating purchasing across locations, identifying opportunities for appropriate standardization, improving contract utilization, or coordinating a major capital equipment project.
In both cases, the objective is the same: help the organization make informed purchasing decisions while preserving its ability to choose what works best.
