20. The AAPI/Henry Schein Medical Supply Program is designed
to lower members’ medical supply costs, provide revenue generating programs
and increase practice efficiencies.
Lower Costs: By combining Henry Schein’s industry leading distribution services, best in class
GPO contracting services and AAPI specific product contracts, members will receive better pricing than
an individual member could capture on its own.
Revenue Generation: Through new and developing point of care testing procedures, equipment, and
laboratory specialists, and expert representatives, Henry Schein can introduce new ways to generate
practice revenue.
Practice Efficiency: Streamline your practice with next day service, the highest industry fill rates and
supply chain/invoicing/receiving efficiencies resulting in backend cost reductions.
Henry Schein and assigned sales/service consultants will work with each AAPI member to clearly
understand their short- and long-term service requirements, goals, and objectives. All levels of
Henry Schein Leadership and Service Groups will be strategically aligned to provide best-in-class
service to the AAPI program and its members.
