CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN THE COST AND QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE
General Information
 
What is Group Purchasing?

A competitive and attractive employee benefits package is key to recruiting and retaining a quality workforce. EHPCO, through the guidance of its Purchasing Committee, routinely evaluates the employee benefits marketplace in an effort to identify products/services where it can leverage its collective lives by negotiating tremendous discounts on high-quality products on behalf of its members. Through that leverage, EHPCO is able to negotiate better performance guarantees and account management standards than most companies are able to secure on their own. EHPCO represents over 400,000 covered lives.  

EHPCO's programs not only save your organization money by offering products at reduced fees, it also saves your organization the time and expense of the due diligence process. Knowing you are offering a vendor and product that has undergone a rigorous review by your peers - PRICELESS!  

Networking with peers who use the same vendor is an another added value that EHPCO brings its members.   EHPCO routinely hosts meetings where its vendors present information such as trends in the industry and plan design benchmarking.  

EHPCO serves only as the negotiating and contracting vehicle for these products. Each employer participating in our value-based purchasing programs maintains an independent billing and account management relationship with its vendor.
