GPO Membership Benefits

We are your smart GPO.

What does it mean to be a Smart GPO? For us, it means using data and actionable insights to support your practice in the transition to value-based care. It means providing analytics tools to help you align with national guidelines. And it means using empirical evidence to put patient outcomes at the heart of your practice's health and sustainability.

When you join Cencora's Specialty GPOs, you become part of a network of community specialty practices making data-backed decisions that maximize contract performance and advance the quality of patient care. That's having a smart partner in your corner.

When it comes to group purchasing, there's strength in numbers. As one of the longest-standing specialty practice GPOs, our membership represents over 10,000 private practice specialists across the United States. That means we have unrivaled collective purchasing power in the industry. Our relationships with leading manufacturers allow us to bring you competitive pharmaceutical contracts on the most frequently prescribed therapies.

With our expertise in industry trends, such as the biosimilar market, and a versatile contract portfolio, with diverse, physician-vetted discount and rebate models, you have contracting options that are not only valuable but attainable. This translates to more choice in how you care for your patients and a partnership that helps you navigate and transition to a complex GPO environment.
