You’ve negotiated favorable implant contracts—but are you actually paying contract prices? Without real-time visibility, off-contract purchases silently erode margins while manual compliance checking wastes valuable resources.

Surgery Exchange ensures 100% contract compliance by automatically validating every implant purchase against your negotiated agreements. Our platform identifies non-compliant implants immediately, eliminating overspend before it impacts your bottom line.

The Hidden Cost of Contract Non-Compliance:

Our analysis of client data over the past 12 months revealed alarming trends across the industry:

  • 20% of PPI items purchased were off contract — representing nearly $10M in recoverable savings we identified for our clients
  • 2% of total PPI spend exceeded contracted prices — an additional $3M in overspend we caught and corrected
  • Manual compliance processes consumed 143 weeks of staff time — nearly 3 years of labor we eliminated through automation

With Surgery Exchange, you can:

  • Capture off-contract purchases in real-time, not weeks later
  • Pay only your negotiated contract price for every implant
  • Eliminate the manual labor required for bill-only case reconciliation

One health system recovered $2.3 million in their first year simply by ensuring contract compliance through our automated platform. Across our entire client base, we’ve now identified over $13M in contract-related savings in just 12 months. These aren’t theoretical savings—they’re real margin improvements flowing directly to your bottom line.

Your contracts represent significant savings opportunities. Surgery Exchange ensures you capture every dollar of those negotiated discounts while reducing the administrative burden on your team.
