PedsPal Benefits
PedsPal is designed to allow physicians to purchase a variety of goods and services at prices that are reflective of the buying power of a large group purchasing effort.
- Benefits of vaccine program
- Benefits of athena
- Benefits of HSI® (Henry Schein)
- Benefits of Office Depot®
- Benefits of Recall™/Shred-it™
- No greater vaccine discounts anywhere, plus special promotions and added savings.
- New 60-day advance notice on price changes with Merck vaccines.
- Priority status for flu vaccine shipping. As a preferred business partner of Sanofi Pasteur, PedsPal members are among the first to receive their annual flu vaccine shipments.
- Shipping guarantees for flu vaccine. If shipments are delayed causing doses to be unused, Sanofi Pasteur shares in the loss as much as 25-50 percent of the purchase price.
- Small upfront cost.
- Subsequent payments come from increased revenue which means no out-of-pocket expense to you. The program consists of athena Clinicals and athena Collector. While the electronic medical record (EMR) is a feature of athena Clinicals, athena bills and collects from the insurance carriers and patients through athena Collector. The monthly payment for the program is deducted from the money collected that month and the balance is deposited to the bank account the physician selects.
