Materials Management Program
From advanced wound care to office supplies and urology products, Medbuy's Materials Management Program offers Members access to a comprehensive suite of supply and service contracts covering a range of product categories.
Members benefit from the strength of our Contracting team, which understands contract management processes, hospital purchasing processes and how products and services are used within the healthcare setting. But throughout the contract process, our membership is also able to ensure the best possible result by participating on the Materials Management Committee. It's a contracting process that enables Members to offer input, advice, expertise, and ultimately, make purchasing decisions that best fit their needs.
