Can I access the Prime Vendor Programs discounted pricing on pharmaceuticals and other services without using its distribution agreements?
No, a covered entity must use the PVP’s distribution agreements to access the program’s pricing on products and services. Accessing the PVP’s distribution agreement is required to ensure authorized distributors appropriately report all participants’ sales to the PVP. All participants’ purchases are leveraged to secure additional discounts on products with suppliers. If a covered entity has negotiated a distribution fee with its current distributor that is lower than the PVP distributor agreement, the fee will be “grandfathered” under the existing PVP distributor agreement to ensure the covered entity maintains any individually negotiated discounts.
