Order PPE Supplies for Your Practice
Medical Society
A MESSAGE FROM NCMS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FRASER COBBE:
Dear NCMS Members,
During these times of uncertainty the right course of action isn’t always clear. However, we are here to help medical practices such as yours through such times. One of the ways we’re able to do this is by offering PPE supply ordering to our members. This is new territory for our society, but the NCMS has been working diligently vetting our suppliers to ensure we’re using a trusted source in order to get the best pricing and availability. In order to do this, the medical society must order supplies in bulk quantities.
The medical society will be taking members’ pre-orders and will process the supply order once we’ve met the supplier’s minimum threshold requirement. Once we’ve received the products from our supplier, our members will be notified of their anticipated delivery date (usually within 48 hours) and sent an invoice to pay for their items.
It’s important to note that the medical society depends on the commitments made by our members with the pre-orders to satisfy the minimum requirements set by our suppliers. This is how we’re able to secure the items for our members. Cancellation of an order after the group order has been placed could jeopardize the availability and time it takes to access the supply chain for the medical society.
We have been able to secure KN95 masks and other PPE for our members! Because supplies are limited, you must be a member of the NCMS to purchase the supplies. As a reminder, your membership will also get you free access to the educational webinars and other resources we provide.
