Kermit equips supply chain managers, surgeons and executives with real-time data on implantable medical device transactions, offering unprecedented visibility that’s saving hospitals millions of dollars.
Most surgeons don’t know what implantable medical devices cost or what the hospital is being charged. They have no way to help manage spend.
Ensuring fair and accurate billing with so many cases, contracts and devices is nearly impossible for supply chain managers.
Confounded by poor data, executives have limited ability to address PPI-related inefficiencies, struggling to ensure profitability in the ever-changing reimbursement environment.
Kermit allows for easy tracking of PPI spend by doctor, department and device, giving surgeons the insight they need to help manage spend and share best practices.
Real-time analytics from Kermit give the supply chain team the precise information they need to audit, negotiate and maximize savings.
Clean integrated analytics pinpoint an easy place to take back financial control of PPI and build partnerships with clinicians. Kermit produces clean data that can also be transmitted to platforms that support the transition to ICD-10 and adding to joint registries like AJRR.
"Kermit’s in-depth knowledge of capitated construct billing gives me the tools and support to prevent and detect overbilling from reps. They most recently helped catch 6 discrepant invoices from one vendor."
