With the growing number of changes in the healthcare system, managing a medical practice can be challenging, to say the least. The last thing physicians and their staff need is to be searching for the best prices on vaccines and supplies. That’s why physicians are turning to Group Purchasing Organizations like that offered by NeKY RHIO. We focus on negotiating contracts so our members have the opportunity to buy the products they need at what we believe are the best prices — some with generous rebates — saving time and aggravation in the process.
The NeKY RHIO GPO is the ideal partner for small to medium size rural physician groups, health care organizations and other professional groups. We make it possible for you to receive outstanding pricing on a broad range of products from the country’s leading vendors, as well as generous rebate programs with the goal that 25% of all earned fees and rebates are saved and/or returned to your organization. Not only that, but you receive prompt, attentive service — and the peace of mind of knowing you’re working with the top firm in Kentucky in practice support.
NeKY RHIO is the leading practice support; medical cost and quality management firm — that’s been serving more than 600 Kentucky providers for nearly 10 years. Our purchasing power — and the ability to respond to your needs quickly — grew out of our robust portfolio of services designed specifically for small to medium sized rural health practices.
With the extensive resources we have to offer, it’s possible for our provider clients to enjoy the best products at great prices, and some of the most impressive performance metrics in the industry — fewer days in A/R, a higher rate of clean claims, improved quality and a significantly lower overall cost of care. Discover how NeKY RHIO can help your practice thrive in today’s complex value-based healthcare environment.
Some of the organizations out there have gotten so big – they’re focused on the larger commercial integrated hospital systems – with most of the medium and smaller entities being left behind. When the smaller practices do get approached by some organizations, they’re saying more of ‘This is what we’ll give you,’ instead of ‘what you actually need’.
Providers feel that they have no voice, they get the sense that they are just a number. They want something other than that out of a relationship. Yes, they want the deal … but they also want to be a part of the enterprise, somehow have a voice. When you get too big that’s awfully hard to do.
Organizations like NeKY RHIO hone in on a specific product or provider while leaving the remainder up to the GPO. This can make it easier to standardize a practice portfolio and get providers to agree to specific items, which can lead to better deals with suppliers who want exclusivity.
The unique relationship that NeKY RHIO has with Henry Schein guarantees the best possible rate with the best possible service.
