Supplier management & cost containment Supplier management and cost containment represent the very core of the Euro-Center services. By developing and maintaining strong relationships with agents and suppliers, we create mutual benefits for all parties. Over the years we have succeeded in creating a worldwide network of partners and suppliers. Euro-Center performs site inspections to ensure high quality medical facilities. This proactive quality assessment guarantees policyholders the best possible treatment for any planned course of treatment or in case of an accident. For large corporate customers, Euro-Center also conducts on-site inspections of hospitals and clinics in new geographical areas upon request. Euro-Center performs rigorous quality control of all incoming invoices and records all diagnosis costs. Over the years, this has allowed us to build an extensive database which enables Euro-Center to benchmark costs and in-patient times between suppliers. Needless to say this is a powerful argument when negotiating discounts and rebates.
