Medical product suppliers see the opportunity in this oversight and capitalize on using freight fees as profit centers. Surgery centers may receive direct shipments or overnight deliveries that usually exceed the market average. Surgery centers can avoid these fees by employing a freight management program and working with a freight management provider that is well-versed in what constitutes a successful freight management program. Surgery centers that contracted with a freight management company are seeing significant results. For example, more than 2,000 ASCs that worked with a freight management provider had average savings between 30 percent and 50 percent per shipment over the past several years.*
During a webinar sponsored by OptiFreight® Logistics, a Cardinal Health company, Jonathan Kernya, director of customer operations for OptiFreight® Logistics, will detail the many benefits a center can accrue from employing a freight management program. Greg DeconCillis, administrator of Boston Outpatient Surgical Suites, will also dive into a personal account of how a program yielded major savings for his center, which is crucial in the value-driven healthcare landscape.
Tune in to the webinar on Thursday, April 6th, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. CT. Register today!
