SCMA members have access to GroupSource, a national Group Purchasing Organization that understands the business of medicine, giving your practice effective cost containment, lowering your expenses and increasing your bottom line.

Innovations in Management and Technology

GroupSource contracts require vendors to manage practice inventory while providing purchasing and auditing services. Supporting vendors become cost reduction advocates who are ready to provide suggestions and guidance regarding savings.

Group Source is your practice advocate virtually working as part of your management system, which facilitates:

  • Inventory management
  • Pricing standardization across customers
  • Utilization of electronic data interchanges (EDI) to keep transaction costs at the lowest possible level

GroupSources monitors vendors for adherence to contract pricing, resolution of invoice discrepancies, inventory management and timely delivery of all ordered supplies.
