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.
