Contracts & Rebates

The world of navigating through contracts and filing for rebates can be daunting for an independent distributor. NDC is here to help.

Not only do NDC members receive best-in-class pricing, members also gain access to rebates and additional discounts after signing up with any of our GPO partners and reporting through our Contracts & Rebates department.

GPO Affiliations

NDC currently has relationships with most major Group Purchasing Organizations in the industry:

NuEdge Alliance, LLC

NuEdge Alliance, LLC is NDC’s proprietary affiliate GPO exclusively for independent distributors. Leveraging the largest network of independent distributors in North America, NuEdge provides best in class solutions & pricing through our unique relationship with Vizient.

Vizient (formerly Novation)

Vizient is a supply chain organization that represents the largest purchasing volume in the industry with more than $40 billion in annual purchases.

Vizient serves the purchasing needs of approximately 65,000 members and affiliates nationwide in the non-acute market.

  • Provista is a supply chain improvement company dedicated to helping more than 80,000 members in the non-acute healthcare, education and corporate markets to improve their financial and operational performance.

Intalere (formerly Amerinet)

With offices in Pittsburgh, Providence, St. Louis and Salt Lake City, Intalere collaborates with acute and non-acute care providers, including hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, clinics and doctor offices.

Competitive Pricing

You asked, we listened. Our Member distributors need access to the same competitive pricing as national competitors. NDC developed relationships with GPOs on behalf of our member distributors and now provides equal competitive access to thousands of GPO-contracted products.

Contracts & Rebates Web Portal

Reporting sales tracing & rebate documentation can be cumbersome. That’s why NDC developed a proprietary web portal for our member distributors. The NDC CORE platform facilitates streamlined reporting and allows access to additional services to increase your margins.

Our Contracts & Rebates web portal is a robust (for Ian) management tool to help our member distributors navigate the complex field of GPOs and contracts.

The portal provides our members with:

  • Access to a dynamic database, allowing you quick and easy access to GPO contract information.
  • Easy submission for sales trace and rebate documentation. Simply upload your information in a convenient spreadsheet format. Once the rebate has been validated and processed, you receive credit directly to your account.
  • Special features including member rosters, contract export scheduler and sales trace batch lookup.

If you purchase products through the NDC warehouse, once the required sales administration agreement has been submitted and approved, you are eligible to process your contracts and rebates through our program.

Manufacturers and Regional Contracts

GPOs aren’t the only contracts a distributor has to navigate. NDC also negotiates and maintains manufacturing contracts on behalf of our distribution network. We then pass along that best-in-class pricing down to our distributors.

In addition, we administer hundreds of local and regional contracts specific to end-user healthcare providers.
