MediGroup

What MediGroup does

MediGroup (legal entity: MediGroup Physician Services), founded in 1999 and headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri, is a privately held group purchasing organization (GPO) that operates as the single largest non-acute care GPO in the United States. The company serves independent physician practices, ambulatory surgery centers, urgent care facilities, specialty practices (dermatology, cardiology, ophthalmology, oncology, podiatry, wound care, pediatrics, pain management, correctional health), and multi-site health systems, providing them with access to a pre-negotiated contract portfolio spanning 2,000+ vendors and 20+ specialty areas. Core product offerings include specialty purchasing programs, supply chain management tools, capital equipment pricing, an e-procurement platform, value-added services (employee perks, affinity programs, merchant services, documentation solutions), and supply chain advisory services such as gap assessments and secondary sourcing.

The underlying technology combines an e-procurement system integrated with GPO contract portfolios to deliver contract compliance tracking, spend visibility, centralized ordering, and procurement analytics. The platform also incorporates data analytics for inventory monitoring, demand forecasting, and supplier performance anomaly detection, supporting KPIs such as inventory turnover and fill rate targets. Membership enrollment is self-serve through a dedicated portal (gpo.medigroup.com/enroll), with no membership fees, no required purchasing commitments, and no long-term contracts, allowing members to retain existing distributor relationships while accessing contract pricing.

MediGroup operates a vendor-funded revenue model, earning administrative fees paid by vendors and manufacturers rather than charging members. This freemium pricing structure is designed to maximize member acquisition and aggregate purchasing volume across the non-acute care segment, which the company identifies as an underserved market relative to acute-care GPOs. Distribution occurs through direct self-serve enrollment, distributor integration partnerships, and an Affinity Program with partners including USPAY (merchant services), Clara Care (DME with clinical support), Global Biomedical Technology (wound care), MedMira (rapid diagnostics), Chase Clinical Documentation, and Genesis Regenerative. The company is led by founder and CEO Andy Klearman and reports a small operating headcount of 11-50 employees.

Core offering

MediGroup is a group purchasing organization (GPO) that provides non-acute care healthcare facilities—physician practices, ambulatory surgery centers, and urgent care clinics—with free membership access to a pre-negotiated contract portfolio covering 2,000+ medical supply, pharmaceutical, capital equipment, and operational vendors across 20+ specialty areas. The company bundles specialty purchasing programs, supply chain management tools, capital equipment pricing, employee perks, and an Affinity Program (merchant services, 401(k), pharmacy) into a single membership, and monetizes through administrative fees paid by vendors rather than member fees.

Product overview

MediGroup is a group purchasing organization (GPO) platform serving as the single largest non-acute care GPO in the U.S. The platform operates as a unified offering combining multiple product lines: (1) Core GPO platform providing access to pre-negotiated contracts with 2,000+ vendors across medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and operational spend; (2) Specialty purchasing programs for 30+ medical specialties including urgent care, surgery centers, wound care, cardiology, oncology, and more; (3) Capital Equipment access with exclusive pricing and quarterly promotions; (4) E-procurement system for streamlined ordering and spend visibility; (5) Value Added Services including Employee Perks (discounts on AT&T, Verizon, entertainment), Affinity Program (merchant services, 401k), and Docs On Video; and (6) Supply chain services including gap assessments and secondary sourcing. The platform is free for members; MediGroup generates revenue from vendor administrative fees. Key differentiators include no membership fees, no required purchasing commitments, and focus exclusively on non-acute care (physician practices, surgery centers, urgent care facilities).
