In teaming with Conductiv, we are able to provide their members with easier access to our services, a streamlined contracting process, and a competitive pricing structure based on terms pre-negotiated for them. Assure is excited to have the opportunity to help Conductiv members enhance their patient care, while at the same time enabling them to drive cost savings,” said John A. Farlinger, Assure’s executive chairman and CEO. “The agreement with Conductiv reflects Assure’s 2022 strategy of continuing to focus our business on GPO and facilities-based contracts in our go-forward model.”
