Group Purchasing

A key benefit of VHA membership is the group purchasing program. By purchasing in volume from manufacturers and suppliers, VHA is able to offer members "one-stop shopping" for all the products and supplies a practice needs. When members combine as a group, VHA gains tremendous purchasing power, ensuring our membership competitive pricing.

Member Volume Purchase Discount (MVPD)

The MVPD is a return of profits to our members. The amount is determined by VHA at the end of each fiscal year based on profit and each individual member’s purchasing volume.
