Dermatology Practice Achieves Cost Savings & Efficiency
Situation
A large dermatology practice located in Eastern Tennessee was facing several challenges related to its clinical and office supply purchases. With thirteen providers across three locations, the practice was looking to improve its purchasing processes to save money and improve efficiency.
Recognizing the need for a solution, they turned to us for assistance. Our team worked closely with them to review their purchasing process and identify areas for improvement.

Results
Through DoctorsManagement’s expert guidance and support, the dermatology practice achieved:
- Savings of over $40,000 per year: We helped the practice identify areas where they were overpaying for supplies. By leveraging group purchasing organization (GPO) contracts and aligning the practice with appropriate distribution companies, our team helped negotiate lower prices and secure savings.
- Consistent pricing across all three locations: Before working with DoctorsManagement, the practice had inconsistent pricing for supplies across their locations. We worked to standardize pricing, ensuring that all providers and staff members had access to the same cost-effective products.
- Streamlined ordering process: Our team helped implement a streamlined ordering process that made it easier for the practice staff to place orders. This resulted in improved efficiency and reduced time spent on administrative tasks.
- Presented alternative supply options: Our team provided the practice with information about different options that could potentially lead to greater savings.
Overall, this partnership was a success! Our team was able to help their practice achieve significant savings, improve efficiency, and reduce time spent on administrative tasks.
