Amerinet and The Pain Group (TPG) Team to Provide Group Purchasing Services Specific to Pain Management

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amerinet, a leading national healthcare group purchasing organization and The Pain Group (TPG) have completed a national account agreement which will bring savings, efficiency and new sources of revenue to practices and physicians within the pain management specialty.

“The Pain Management specialty is an exciting and growing field with many advances and new treatments for patients, but the costs of treatments are on the rise while reimbursement rates continue to fall,” said Matt McBride, co-founder of The Pain Group. “Our partnership with Amerinet will allow TPG to assist providers in controlling costs and enhancing the quality of care for patients.”

TPG currently services members in more than 30 states and is the only group purchasing organization specific to pain management. Based in Jacksonville, Fla., the group has been able to build a large membership base in under a year. Through this strategic partnership, Amerinet and TPG will be able to deliver contracts to members in key categories such as contrast dye, steroids, radiofrequency supplies and many more.

“Chronic pain is estimated to affect more than 80 million American adults to some degree. Pain management is a growing specialty and these services are very important to the patients who suffer from recurring pain. With TPG’s focus specifically on the pain management niche and the reach of Amerinet’s contract base, the two organizations should be able to bring true value to this segment,” said Steve Tackett, vice president of national accounts and non-acute sales for Amerinet.

The organizations will launch a marketing effort to educate existing members and other pain facilities on the enhanced benefits of partnering with Amerinet and TPG to control costs and improve patient care. Communication and training will begin in November to existing members in order to familiarize them with product ordering and documentation procedures.
