Ethics & Compliance

Code of Conduct

Consorta, Inc. is a Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) that is wholly-owned by and operated for the benefit of our Catholic health care systems, and other members that the shareholder health care systems permit to participate. Because Consorta is owned by its member systems, and focuses solely on supply-chain activities, it is unique among GPOs, and has no interest apart from reducing health care costs for its members and their patients, while maintaining a high quality of care.

Consorta is recognized by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a “cooperative.” As such, it has been returning one hundred percent (100%) of the annual net income of the company to its shareholder health care systems since inception.  Members report such returns as a reduction of cost of products to the Medicare and Medicaid Programs.

In April 2007, Consorta became an equity owner in HealthTrust Purchasing Group, HPG, a GPO based in Brentwood, TN. As a part of this transaction, HPG is now responsible for the majority of contracting activity for Consorta. Representatives from Consorta participate in the HPG contract development process. HPG contracts, process, procedures, and guidelines are established by the HPG Code of Conduct. The Consorta Code of Conduct applies to the minimal contracting activities still performed by Consorta staff.
