Why Fivden
Your laboratory agreement is more than a price list.
Laboratory relationships can include negotiated rates, discounts, annual increases, minimum-spend commitments, rebates, credits, equipment, warranties, subscriptions and location-specific terms.
Fivden gives management an independent view of whether those commercial terms are reflected in what the organisation is actually paying.

FAQ
Questions before you share anything.
Do I need to send my entire laboratory contract?
No. You can begin with the pages containing the relevant pricing and commercial terms.
Do you need patient information?
No patient information is needed for the commercial review. Please redact unnecessary identifying information before sending documents.
Do I need to book a call?
No. The initial process can be handled entirely by email.
What if Fivden finds nothing wrong?
That is still a useful outcome. The purpose is to independently verify the commercial relationship, not manufacture discrepancies.
Does a Fivden finding mean the laboratory has definitely overcharged us?
No. Findings should initially be treated as items requiring verification. Amendments, credits and other context may explain a difference.
How much does Fivden cost?
During the Founding Practice Programme, selected initial historical reviews are complimentary. Ongoing monitoring pricing will depend on practice size, locations and laboratory complexity.
