Intalere entered a group purchasing agreement for laboratory distribution services with Medline through 2021.
Intalere already uses Medline as its primary medical supply distributor via a four-year agreement renewed in February 2018. Through the new agreement, Intalere members who select Medline as their primary laboratory distributor will be eligible for negotiated pricing.
"This new contract comes at the request of members looking for a new laboratory distribution option," Dan Johns, vice president of national accounts for Medline, said in a press release. "Members can now receive laboratory supplies on the same Medline trucks already delivering their medical supplies."
