2. PHONE IN DISCOUNTS ON WIRELESS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

Modern phones are a necessity for healthcare professionals and their families. Why not buy them for less? Healthcare members can take advantage of  exclusive savings—up to 25% on phone plans and 35% on accessories—from AT&T and Verizon. Discounts also extend to members’ employees and their families. Additional deals on smartphones, tablets and equipment are often available each quarter, allowing customers to buy items at deep discounts.

Members can trade in old phones, batteries, tablets and accessories for gift cards or credit toward new devices. 

3. SHIP FOR LESS WITH DELIVERY AND FREIGHT MANAGEMENT.

Contracts with TRIOSE and FedEx enable savings on shipping, delivery, freight management and customized courier services. Rates are below average market pricing. The contracts, exclusively for healthcare members, deliver transparency and savings across inbound and outbound freight. Facilities benefit from full-service logistic solutions nationwide.

Reliable shipping is critical to ensure healthcare samples and specimens arrive safely and in a timely manner. These services can also help with transporting large items, like medical and diagnostic equipment. 

4. STRETCH BUDGETS ACROSS OFFICE EQUIPMENT AND MANAGED PRINT SERVICES.

Members know that office supply companies like Staples, Office Depot and Ricoh have everything needed for the office side of the business. What they probably didn’t know is these companies also offer custom workplace solutions, office space planning, IT services and managed print services to help meet other needs.

Members save on everything from furniture to office equipment to cleaning products while benefiting from customized online tools for easy ordering and next-day delivery. Provista ensures members can easily procure everything they need from the washroom to the breakroom to the boardroom across a complete lineup of products, solutions and services.

5. PURCHASE THROUGH A SINGLE SOURCE FOR LABORATORY DISTRIBUTION.

Get everything needed for an in-house lab—equipment, chemicals, supplies, services—through a single company with Fisher Scientific. Streamlining ordering and procurement with contracts through a leading lab equipment company helps physician offices operate an efficient laboratory to serve patient needs.

The end-to-end, order-to-delivery approach makes procurement fast and easy. With its lab distribution partner, Provista lets members choose from a wide range of offerings to operate their labs, meet patient needs and grow revenue.

6. AVOID PRICE SPIKES, ENSURE PRODUCT AVAILABILITY WITH NOVAPLUS.

Provista’s private label program offers more than 2,000 individual line items, including pharmaceuticals. Average savings for non-pharmacy products is 18%. For pharmaceuticals, members can access more than 6,330 NDCs, including critical access drugs. Provista’s pharmaceutical fill rate average is 92%, which is significantly higher than the 79% average by other group purchasing organizations.

To prevent price spikes and ensure availability, Novaplus® offers a dedicated inventory of branded and generic injectables that are prone to shortages. Other Novaplus products are made by leading manufacturers to the same specs as their branded equivalents. 

7. NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND HOUSEHOLD SERVICES WITH EMPLOYEE SAVINGS. 

This offering isn’t a contract, but it does provide 300,000 ways to save big bucks. This completely free program is available to all members’ employees and their families. It offers steep discounts on entertainment venues, shopping, travel and more—any area where people spend money, such as food, vehicle repairs, health and wellness, vacations, home improvements, gifts—through a single app. 

Location-based savings alerts let people know about discounts in their immediate area. No matter where members go or what they’re doing, there’s probably a discount available. And they’re available at popular, brand name retailers and service providers where members are already shopping, allowing them to save at their favorite stores.

8. KEEP FACILITIES RUNNING EFFICIENTLY THROUGH MRO DISTRIBUTION.

Maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) keep the lights on and ensure necessary items are on hand for repairs or replacement. W.W. Grainer, HD Supply and Direct Supply provide the MRO products, tools and supplies that facilities need across electrical, cleaning, plumbing, security and more.

These leading companies have everything from routine products like cleaning supplies to specialized items like parts for wheelchair repairs. Provista offers proven approaches and best practices to enable organizations to maximize their inventory by ensuring MRO items are in stock when they’re needed without the expense caused by overstocking.

9. CAPTURE REVENUE BY OUTSOURCING BILLING AND COLLECTION.

Free up internal resources by outsourcing critical accounting and collection functions to experts who specialize in these services for healthcare facilities and businesses. Experts can help improve facilities’ billing and collection processes for enhanced efficiency and effectiveness. Provista offers contracts with companies that have skilled and experienced representatives who work in facilities’ best interest while maintaining critical patient relationships. 

Moving these services from in-house to third-party specialists allows staff to focus on other value-added tasks and projects to benefit the business.
