HEALTH
CARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS (HCIS) and
MEDI-BILL SYSTEMS – is a provider of a comprehensive
purchasing program for long term care facilities. Their “program”
consists of, in part, of uniform contract bid procedures designed
to obtain the lowest possible prices
for items purchased by health care providers; uniform audit procedures
whereby HCIS monitors vendor compliance with negotiated contract
pricing; and monthly computer printouts to be used by health care
providers in analyzing purchasing history and projecting future
product needs. This program includes the Sysco Progressive Allowance
Program that allows all members of NHCA/NALA to be eligible to participate
in the Sysco brand purchasing incentive program where members of
NHCA/NALA will receive 100 percent of any remuneration received
if said members meet the qualifying/compliance threshold in effect
for this program. For more information, call (800) 888-1450.
