Working with the Hive Health was a great experience that led to organizational cost savings in the physician preference item space. Due to their success, integrity and expertise in our first two year term we resigned for a second term to drive further cost reduction which allowed us to reinvest in organizational needs for the patients and communities we serve. - Cathy Rodriguez, Sr. Contract Manager,Supply Chain
Health First needed to reassess pricing across its physician preference items (PPI), focusing on orthopedic and cardiovascular implants. It was the right time to expand market intelligence and bring in a proven outside partner to help drive deeper savings.
The Hive brought deep category expertise and trusted methodologies to uncover savings opportunities while respecting physician autonomy and patient outcomes.
The partnership delivered meaningful cost reductions that allowed Health First to reinvest in its patients and community.
The results were so strong in the initial two-year engagement that Health First renewed The Hive for a second term—choosing to continue the relationship based on proven impact, trusted collaboration, and sustained momentum in its PPI strategy.
