You Deserve Better Than "Catalog Pricing"
The Howard Difference - Data-driven savings, not just sales.
Independent community-based hospitals don’t get the attention, pricing power, or support they deserve. Even when they are “on contract,” they often pay more than they should for the exact same medical supplies.
– Overpaying for standard supplies
– Ignored by major distributors
– Stretched budgets and limited resources
– Lack of pricing transparency

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our process, savings, and partnership model.
We can access all GPO contracts, but we aren’t tied to them. That independence gives us the flexibility to evaluate every option available to you, not just what sits on contract. We source from hundreds of manufacturers and use every method possible to identify clinically approved alternates and better-priced equivalents. Most hospitals have pockets of overspend that go unnoticed for years simply because no one is looking across the entire landscape. Our process is built to find those opportunities and bring forward high-quality options that deliver meaningful savings without compromising care.
No. In every engagement, hospitals keep both their primary distributor and their GPO exactly as they are. We function as a supportive secondary partner. Our role is simple, find the SKUs where you’re overpaying and help you capture meaningful savings on a small percentage of items that produce outsized impact. We work with the ecosystem, not against it.
That’s completely understandable. We don’t sell, share, or repurpose your data in any way. We don’t even have a business model for it. The only way we earn revenue is by saving you money on medical supplies and then supplying those items. Your information begins and ends with your cost-savings proposal.
Any item you ask us to stock is held at a minimum of 30 days of supply in our warehouse. You also have 24/7 visibility into on hand quantities so you always know what is available in real time. If your on hand level ever drops below 30 days of usage, we proactively reach out with options, including clinically approved alternates, so you are never at risk of a stockout.
We can ramp inventory and have you fully supported within seven days.
We don’t recommend any item unless it provides at least a 10 percent savings. Across the items hospitals choose to move forward with, most see average reductions between 23 and 26 percent. And every time we’ve received a full usage and spend report, we’ve delivered a proposal with more than $100k in annualized identified savings.
Email your purchasing and usage data across departments to sales@howardmedical.com. A member of our leadership team will confirm receipt within one hour. From there, we will conduct our analysis and deliver a comprehensive cost-savings proposal within 72 hours, showing exact matches and clinically equivalent alternates. There is no cost or obligation.
