One of the easiest ways to save money and time as a healthcare provider is to join a group purchasing organization, or GPO, like The Treatment Collective. There are a variety of member benefits for healthcare professionals to take advantage of upon joining.
Save Time On Vetting New Vendors
One thing that most behavioral healthcare professionals are short on is time. Many barely have the bandwidth to handle the day-to-day requirements of running an addiction treatment or behavioral healthcare facility. This means that researching and vetting new vendors for necessary products and services can fall by the wayside.
However, one of the key member benefits for healthcare professionals is the ability to save time by choosing from a comprehensive list of pre-vetted vendors. The Treatment Collective features hundreds of vendors, offering a variety of products and services from batteries to beds to biosound therapy. We also only keep vendors on our list that maintain good relationships with our members. Further, we address any member concerns about vendor quality immediately. In fact, we provide our vendors with a vendor protocol that they must follow. This way, members can be sure they’re utilizing quality vendors. The Treatment Collective also works tirelessly to add new vendors to our list to expand the breadth of our services. Our team can also assist members with specific negotiations, contract reviews, and requests for proposals from our vendors.
Save Money with Exclusive Discounts
Likely one of the most important member benefits for healthcare professionals that join The Treatment Collective is the cost savings. Due to the collective buying power of our members, we’re able to negotiate much lower prices than your organization would be able to on its own. This allows you to get the best deals on a broad range of products and services. With these cost savings, you’ll have more resources to devote to providing the highest level of care to your patients. Furthermore, with us negotiating on your behalf, you save valuable time that you would’ve otherwise spent haggling with vendors to secure yourself the best price.
Broaden Your Network of Behavioral Healthcare Professionals and Vendors
One of the lesser-known member benefits for healthcare professionals is networking opportunities. Of course, every professional interaction is a chance to expand your network. Becoming a member of a GPO like The Treatment Collective can help with broadening your professional network, both with other healthcare facilities as well as B2B organizations. It’s an easy way to connect with others in the industry, as well as meet vendors that want to form a partnership with you.
