Doing Business With Us
Purchase Orders
Purchase orders are required for most purchases at Boston Scientific. Failure to include a valid purchase order number and BSC contact person on all invoices will result in significant delays in payment, or a rejection of the invoice.
Payment Terms
Boston Scientific’s standard payment terms are Net 45 for direct materials and Net 60 for indirect products and services. Boston Scientific does offer a prompt pay program which guarantees payment in 15 days in exchange for a 2% discount on the gross invoice.
