Searching for vendors to support your medical practice with the critical services and products it needs to run efficiently can be cumbersome and overwhelming. You need to make sure that you are getting the best value for your dollar… and the high level of service and quality you need. Getting to the point where you trust that your vendor partners are the best for what they were hired to do takes a lot of time and investment.
Here are some common issues you or your staff may have encountered when selecting vendors for your practice:
- You search endlessly for what you need on Google and get nowhere
- You ask colleagues for referrals, but do not like the recommendations they make
- You have had to try several vendors for a particular service or product
- The cost ends up being more than what you were told
- There is no customer support and you cannot get answers to simple questions
- You don’t have enough time to even begin looking, and reluctantly stay with your current vendor
If you have been a victim of any of the above or have experienced any other mind-boggling difficulties in your efforts, now is a good time to review the benefits available to you through CAPAdvantage, CAP’s comprehensive suite of no-cost or discounted practice management programs.

Here’s what one member had to say about Gary Pepp from Bailes and Associates, the no-cost real estate program offered through CAPAdvantage:
I recently became a solo practice physician after 25 years of being in a group and had to find a new office space. At first, I used a realtor that represented both parties — building owner and me. I soon learned that I needed someone on my side. I contacted Gary Pepp, who was recommended by CAP, my malpractice carrier. Gary and I worked together for over a year to find the right practice location. He dealt with the realtors and only involved me when it was time for a final decision. He drew up the Letters of Intent as needed. Finally, he fought for me to get a competitive rate and some add-ons such as marketing and free rent. In the end, I was very comfortable signing my lease.
