Aggregate Spend – Conversations With VIE

In this video, we discuss why aggregate spend analysis and benchmarking from your agreement will leave money on the table and simply doesn’t work.

Here’s an example.

We had a client that asked us to look at their medical gas costs and to see if we could perform an analysis.

At first glance, and where most hospitals and organizations would stop, there didn’t appear to be many areas for improvement. In fact, just benchmarking from their total spend and reviewing the agreement for pricing opportunities would’ve likely yielded a 2-3% improvement and the hospital would’ve likely evaluated whether or not it was truly of benefit to pursue and allocate resources to achieve the 2-3% better pricing.

However, VIE Healthcare is different.

Through our thorough analysis and review of 12-month invoice data, we discovered (as we often do) an entirely different story. There was a clear disconnect between the invoices’ line-item pricing compared to the agreements.

The disconnect was so large that VIE Healthcare was able to secure a $180,000 credit on the hospital’s annual spend of $240,000.
