The program, called Purchasing Plus, is expected to help those physicians save 10 to 15 percent on supplies, services and capital equipment. The Purchasing Plus program offers savings on a wide range of products, pharmaceuticals, and capital equipment.
“This is a priority for us,” said Matt Pate, president of the Physician Strategy Group at USPI. “Successful physicians are vital to our success and we want to bring greater value to them. We are excited to offer Purchasing Plus to the USPI physician network because it represents the type of quality service our physicians deserve. There are several supply chain options in the market today, but after an extensive analysis of the dominant players, we are confident that we selected the right partner, Provista, because of their commitment to service, choice and value.”
“We are very excited about working with UPSI’s Physician Strategy Group on this initiative,” said Dena Kitchens, senior director of physician services at Provista. “USPI’s Physician Strategy Group is on the forefront of issues and challenges in the physician practice setting, such as reducing overhead costs. Coupled with USPI’s position as a leader in the health care industry and their interest in supporting the success of their affiliated physicians, we believe this strategic partnership will further distinguish them in the ASC market.”
