Save money on vaccines
TAFP develops partnership to bring members savings
posted 11.27.07
With increasing competition from large retail organizations, it has become increasingly difficult for family physicians to keep an adequate supply of vaccines in their clinics without losing money. Now, in response to members’ requests, TAFP has formed a partnership with vaccine purchasing program Atlantic Health Partners to save family physicians money when purchasing vaccines and advocate on behalf of family medicine practices among manufacturers and payers.
Atlantic Health Partners works directly with Sanofi Pasteur and Merck to obtain favorable pricing, payment and purchasing terms for a wide assortment of pediatric, adolescent, adult and travel vaccines. Atlantic also coordinates orders and delivery directly with Sanofi and Merck, and offers managed care reimbursement support to physician practices. The program staff has expressed its dedication to working with family physicians to offer discounts and advocacy in vaccines as well as sponsorship for TAFP CME programs. Best of all, there is no cost for TAFP members to enroll in the program.
