Every two or three years the major players ABC Cardinal McCesson will get creative. In the mean time we have the buy in group co-ops that will spread social economic pricing. Oh the new rx gets same pricing as old established rx. We share same cost and rebates back to all members. Yea right......then some as CPA will swear you to secrecy and ask for 5k to join before they share pricing. Once you are in the cloak and dagger world with them much like a military recruiter they will lay out rebate opportunities that are not realistic or have a catch that causes additional time to prepare and order. Renders a perpetual inventory system worthless and you end up chasing a never to be achieved rebate goal that you were flashed. And they will treat you as if you just come from Africa with emboli if you ask to leave the group and hold your funds for a long period.
My suggestion is to stay out of buy in groups. deal directly with the big three. They realize they have a steady customer who is not tied to a board of directors or a chain store responding to stock holders and lose big chunks of business's at one time.
Currently cardinal suffered a large loss of Walgreens and they are going aggressive after independents now to back fill that loss of volume. Great prices and terms. Only had to be burned with the second co-op to move on. Depending on your volume you can pick up another 100k + in rebates / savings and get it much quicker than the co-op route
Any questions feel free to call for more information
