“When our nine-physician hematology oncology practice decided to expand its services in 2005 with a large bore CT scanner, we asked Broadlane for its assistance with best pricing and warranty terms,” says Steve Elconin, executive director of Tower Hematology Oncology Medical Group, Beverly Hills, Calif. By accessing a Broadlane Group Buy capital equipment contract, we were able to save almost 20 percent through reduction in base price and an additional year of warranty. We will put the additional capital to good use in other areas of service expansion for our patients.
“Broadlane was easy to work with, and the entire process took only a few days with no cost to our practice,” he adds. “This is just another benefit of our membership with Broadlane for medical/surgical supplies, medical equipment, office furniture and supplies and other items that drive a significant portion of our non-labor practice expense.”
