About Us

MEDICAL PRACTICE PURCHASING GROUP (MPPG) is the premier Physician Buying Group (PBG) in the United States. We have leveraged the immense purchasing power of over 6,000 members to secure preferred contracts with major providers of vaccines, medical supplies, and other goods and services used in a medical practice. This allows your office to significantly lower the costs of doing business to ensure your profitability, as well as patient satisfaction.

Our team practices under the guiding principle that our members should be free to concentrate their attention on providing the best possible patient care while we focus on helping your practice run more efficiently and profitably. MPPG also assists in identifying new sources of revenue for our members.

Why Choose Medical Practice Purchasing Group?

Feedback from MPPG members affirms that our mission of saving physicians money is critical to their ability to practice in today’s financial climate. It is MPPG’s continuing goal to increase physician profits and reduce stress – we believe that doctors work hard enough. Dr. Greenberg currently oversees the day-to-day operations of MPPG in addition to practicing medicine full-time.

What Makes MPPG Different from Other Buying Groups?

Traditional Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) are focused primarily on hospitals and the supplies and equipment that they utilize.  But as a Physician Buying Group, MPPG is focused on doctors’ offices. MPPG was started by a practicing physician who saw a need beyond the typical Physician Buying Group. We know from first-hand experience that in order to thrive today, your practice needs to explore every opportunity to produce new sources of revenue while reducing the cost on virtually every line item of practicing medicine.

As an MPPG group member you will be given access to the very best resources available to medical practices today. Whether this means the lowest possible pricing on vaccines and other medical supplies, insurance, merchant services, waste management, office supplies – or keeping you up to date on industry trends, current medical liability issues and so much more – MPPG has you covered with customized solutions for virtually any issue your practice may face.

The Medical Practice Purchasing Group’s ‘Three Pillar Process’

MPPG addresses the financial and regulatory challenges faced by private practice today by focusing on Three Core Pillars: Cutting Costs, Practice Efficiencies, and New Revenue Production.

Cutting Costs – MPPG has developed contractual relationships with a wide variety of companies to provide discounts on goods and services already used by medical practices; vaccines, medical and surgical supplies, medical liability protection and merchant banking services.

Practice Efficiencies – MPPG has curated contracts with some of the most cutting edge companies focused on making medical practices more efficient; HR solutions, online scheduling & billing, internal communications, and external communications.

Revenue Producing  – MPPG has created great relationships with partners that bring previously untapped revenues to medical practices; in office pharmaceutical dispensing, expanding laboratory services, obtaining federal funds for employee retention and capturing class action funds owed to medical practices.

Our team takes a collaborative approach to make sure no stone is left unturned when it comes to maximizing the efficiency and financial opportunities for your practice.  MPPG receives tremendous volume discounts because we negotiate pricing based on the collective size of the group.

At MPPG we discuss each of our member’s objectives as a team to ensure every practice in our group is provided with the highest quality partner supplies and services with the most innovative purchasing solutions.

Why Is the Medical Practice Purchasing Group the Best Physician Buying Group (PBG)?

All PBGs can save you money and some share their revenues with their members.  MPPG rejects this model as short-sighted and not as a serious attempt to service their medical practice members. 

After all, there is more to a practice than vaccines and more to helping a practice than one line item.

MPPG is focused on everything about your practice; your fixed costs, your variable costs, your practice efficiency, finding new revenue sources.  Everything. 

And, if there are areas we are not covering, we want to hear from you.  We are always looking for new ways to improve your practice and help with your bottom line
