Specializing in Medical Device Procurement
Patriot Orthopedics & Spine is a Veteran Owned Small Business providing advanced surgical equipment procurement solutions providing substantial implant and equipment savings for government healthcare agencies.
As a Veteran and VA patient, I have incredible respect for the providers taking care of our Nation's Warfighters and Veterans. As an orthopedic surgeon, I saw an opportunity to help VA and DOD procurement officials realize substantial cost savings on medical equipment procurement costs, freeing up healthcare dollars for recruiting and retaining the amazing healthcare providers serving our Warfighters and Veterans.

Utilization Review
Utilization review is a foundational step in identifying opportunities for increasing procurement efficiency as well as potential opportunities for savings within the procurement cost center.
Strategic Analysis
We utilize insights from practicing surgeons and procurement professionals to identify "substantially equivalent" products which have been FDA approved through the 510k process. We then compare pricing among substantially equivalent implants. This enables a pricing strategy we call "substantially equivalent pricing."
Substantially Equivalent Pricing & Benchmarking
Medical and Surgical equipment is an essential cost center for healthcare organizations. However, implants are just tools; it is the people that provide the outstanding care our Warfighters and Veterans deserve.
Federal healthcare agencies often spend TWO to THREE times as much as public sector and private sector healthcare organizations; these funds could be used instead to recruit and retain personnel, or add facilities which will improve patient access. We evaluate nationwide healthcare data from public and private sector healthcare organizations to determine competitive pricing for materials purchased for our Warfighters and Veterans healthcare.
