Ethics & Compliance
Code of Conduct
Consorta, Inc. is a Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) that is
wholly-owned by and operated for the benefit of twelve (12) 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. Ninety-six
percent (96%) of the return on average has been paid in cash each
year. Members report such returns as a reduction of cost of products
to the Medicare and Medicaid Programs.
