Pharmacy Buying Groups, GPOs and PSAOs

Increase the purchasing power of your pharmacy or specialty medical practice through our pharmacy affiliations and partnerships that include GPOs, buying groups and PSAOs, all supported by exclusive peer groups.

Affiliation and partnership opportunities for your pharmacy or practice

 

We offer our pharmacy and specialty medical practice customers access to a variety of flexible and scalable affiliation and partnership models that best fit your unique pharmaceutical purchasing needs now and into the future. Our models include group purchasing organizations (GPOs), retail pharmacy buying groups, pharmacy services administration organizations (PSAOs) and an exclusive online community pharmacy peer group.

Group purchasing organizations and retail buying groups

Our pharmaceutical GPOs leverage the collective purchasing of our pharmacy and specialty medical practice customers to obtain discounts and competitive prices from drug manufacturers, vendors and suppliers.

Our retail pharmacy buying groups negotiate discounts and competitive prices from manufacturers, vendors and suppliers on behalf of independent retail pharmacies. Maximize the value of your drug and merchandising purchases by tapping into the power of our buying groups.
