How EspriGas helped Fresenius Medical Care take control of their medical gas supply.
The Challenge:
Ensure quality medical gas supply and consistent pricing at over 2500 clinics throughout the United States.
The EspriGas Solution
Looking to consolidate their medical gas suppliers and get control of their annual spend on medical gas Fresenius needed a medical gas supplier that could support them from coast to coast. During GASpr*, EspriGas’ proprietary diagnostic review process, they discovered that Fresenius actually spent substantially more on their medical gas and medical oxygen supplies then they were aware of. With the help of EspriGas, Fresenius cut costs by standardizing pricing and eliminating wasteful rentals which resulted in an overall savings of 38% in the first year alone.
