Syracuse Community Health Center Recovers Over $110,000 a Year

Syracuse Community Health Center (SCHC) provides primary and supportive care for more than 34,000 patients a year. With cost control already a priority, SCHC wanted to optimize cash flow, verify its recurring vendor costs, obtain refunds for past errors, and uncover lasting cost-reduction opportunities — without disrupting operations.

  • Telecom (phone & internet): 16% reduction — $33,864/yr
  • Trash & recycling: 58% reduction — $28,416/yr
  • Medical waste: 77% reduction — $34,128/yr
  • Shredding: 51% reduction — $13,584/yr
  • Corrected billing errors and negotiated more favorable contracts with several existing vendors — reducing costs immediately with no operational disruption
You identified and corrected billing problems that had gone undetected, plus uncovered and implemented cost reduction opportunities. You made the process easy on us. I would highly recommend Integrity Cost Consulting to those organizations concerned with their bottom line, especially to our fellow healthcare-related organizations.Amy E., CFO, Syracuse Community Health Center

One correction, repeated across every location

A seven-rooftop automotive group suspected nothing was wrong — every invoice cleared their internal review. Because the same vendors and contracts repeated site to site, so did the overcharges.

  • Overcharges present at one rooftop were repeating across all seven
  • Recovered and protected over $175,000 per year in cash flow
  • Cost the client no upfront fee and about two hours of one staff member's time
For no cost to us and just two hours of one staff member's time, ICC analyzed the information we sent and improved our cash flow by over $175,000 per year.Auto Group Controller

Benchmarking the costs a growing group couldn't see

A multi-site restaurant group carried heavy utility, waste, and linen costs across locations — all on vendor contracts that had never been benchmarked against comparable operators.

  • Above-market rates and stacked fees across multiple locations
  • Increased cash flow by over $200,000 per year
  • Savings monitored month over month so they hold
ICC's subject matter expertise and benchmarking data helped us increase cash flow by over $200,000 per year!CEO / Managing Partner

The cost of waiting

A manufacturer put off a review for 16 months. When they finally engaged ICC, the audit surfaced significant first-year savings and refunds — but part of the recoverable money had already been forfeited to statute-of-limitations windows.

  • Over $45,000 in first-year savings and refunds identified
  • A reminder that the longer an overcharge runs, the less of it can be recovered

Right-sizing an over-provisioned waste program

A Syracuse manufacturer was paying for trash and recycling service that had long outgrown what the operation actually needed.

  • About $10,000 per year saved — a 73% reduction
  • Achieved through a free audit and a right-sized, renegotiated program — no vendor change
