This is what differentiates Pipeline from all other places you would buy medical supplies from and is only accessible through the Pipeline website. In essence: Price floor – This is the price we’ve negotiated with the GPO and manufacturer. Since we can commit to a high volume our price floor is lower than what most practices can get on their own. Price ceiling – Another negotiated contract that regulates the amount distributors can charge for the products. Without this, the pricing on a product is not regulated.
