How APN Achieves Lower Prices for
Member Organizations
Alliance Purchasing Network is a partnership of successful state and regional long-term care provider groups and alliances that establishes national purchasing agreements benefiting long-term care facilities. APN is a transparent non-profit organization with low overhead and a commitment to assisting member communities.
As an APN member, your long-term care facility gains control over costs because our network negotiates directly with manufacturers to offer you discounts of at least 10 percent on the things your facility needs. Our group purchasing power reduces your expenses with incentives and rebates that aren’t available to individual facilities. The size of our growing national network enables us to drive prices lower than state or regional groups can.
The APN Advantage
APN develops agreements directly with companies & manufacturers, passing the savings along to members. Over time, group participation results in lower prices that are unavailable to smaller networks.
- Participating facilities pay no dues or charges to APN.
- Alliances and provider groups earn distributions based on participation.
- APN creates additional value and control for members.
- APN is focused on the needs of long-term care facilities.
