Through our engaged workforce, we aim to provide these services in a prompt, professional and innovative manner.

Geisinger’s supply chain operations were named among the top 10 of the 2022 Gartner Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25. Geisinger was recognized due to strategic partnerships with suppliers, data quality and standardization and technology innovation — all centered around patient care.

Contracting

Geisinger uses a cloud-based CLM (contract lifecycle management) application called Ntracts, which enables automated workflows for the Geisinger contracting process. When vendors gain access to Ntracts, they receive an email containing onboarding information as well as a link for instructions specific to Geisinger on how to access and use the system. This information is available via Geisinger Vendor Ntracts Instructions.

For questions about Ntracts (Geisinger contracts), contact GeisingerNtractsSupport@geisinger.edu.

Purchasing

All purchases made by Geisinger will be processed through the Procurement Department via a purchase order. All purchases are governed by the Geisinger Purchase Order Terms & Conditions. No other terms or conditions apply unless agreed to in writing signed by Geisinger and the seller. Purchase order numbers must be referenced on all invoices from vendors. Any invoice received without a valid purchase order number may not be paid.


Vendor billing requirements

To provide prompt payments to our suppliers, Geisinger Accounts Payable requires complete and accurate billing information on invoices as follows:

  1. Geisinger legal entity name in the “Bill To” section. Geisinger is made up of several legal entities. Please indicate the Geisinger legal entity you are doing business with. Geisinger or Geisinger Health System are not valid legal entities. You may confirm the legal entity name with your Geisinger contact procuring the goods/services.
  2. Unique invoice number. Note: We do not accept proforma invoices.
  3. Invoice date
  4. Geisinger purchase order number or if Geisinger does not require a purchase order number for your transaction, then the full Geisinger employee contact name. Invoices without either a purchase order number or Geisinger contact name will not be paid.
  5. Description of goods or service
  6. Detailed line information — unit cost and extended amount
  7. If applicable, item or part number
  8. Total amount due

Invoices should be sent directly to geisingerinvoices@ascendsoftware.com for processing (one invoice per PDF attachment).

Adherence to the above requirements will improve timely payment. Invoices not meeting these requirements will delay payment and will not be eligible for late fees.

We appreciate your cooperation in partnering with us to support efficient processing of your invoices. If you have any questions, please reach out to apquestions@geisinger.edu.

Vendor guidelines

Geisinger’s vendor program is meant to protect the health of its patients and employees. All Geisinger vendors are expected to become familiar with the policies and procedures required of all vendors. All necessary policies are located on our Green Security Services credentialling platform. 

Clinical vendors

Clinical vendors are any vendors that will be in a patient care area and/or procedural area. Patient care areas include (but are not limited to) inpatient care units, outpatient treatment areas, surgical suites (both inpatient and outpatient), cardiac catheterization laboratories, electrophysiology lab, special procedure areas or any other area where vendors would have direct patient contact. 

Registration and check-in

Clinical vendors wishing to visit departments, sections or clinics at Geisinger must have an appointment and, upon arrival on a Geisinger property, will report to the appropriate clinical vendor registration area between 6 a.m. – 8 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Vendors who are checking in to Geisinger's surgical suites are asked to leave their cell phones in the locker room area. Cell phones have a negative impact on some communication systems in our operating rooms, and we ask vendors to be courteous of this rule.

Additional credentialing requirements

Clinical vendor credentialing is managed through Green Security Services. These requirements have been put in place to better control vendor access and to help validate that all such vendors are appropriately trained, authorized and insured by their employer, further ensuring the safety of the patients, staff, visitors and vendors of Geisinger.

If you are a clinical vendor, but are not a Green Security Services member, visit their website and click “Sign Up.” Vendors needing assistance with signing up should contact Green Security Services Vendor Credentialing at 866-750-3373.

Clinical and pharmaceutical vendors must be fully credentialed within thirty (30) days of notification.

Non-clinical vendors

Non-clinical vendors are those individuals who do not qualify as clinical vendors. There are no standard documentation requirements for non-clinical vendors to visit Geisinger. However, depending on the business need, Geisinger may request non-clinical vendors to submit specific documentation, including but not limited to, a confidentiality agreement, clinical background check and/or a signed Code of Conduct.
