AOPA INSURANCE PROGRAM Standing for Change in Washington is Easier for Some Than for Others. It’s hard enough having to maneuver around Congress when you’re seeking support for your cause. But when you’re trying to do it on one leg, it’s even harder. That’s why the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association is urging Congress to pass bills S. 3223 and H.R. 2575, giving amputees comparable benefits for prosthetic arms and legs to those they would receive for any other medical or surgical treatment. Currently, insurance companies are using arbitrary caps and lifetime limits, which may not be enough to reimburse amputees for even the most rudimentary prosthetic and orthotic devices. And it’s certainly not enough to cover today’s prosthetics that can greatly improve an amputee’s mobility. Please urge Congress to pass S. 3223 and H.R. 2575, the bills that will enable amputees to get the medically necessary devices they need to lead full, productive lives. Because in America, arms and legs are not a luxury. For more information go to any of the following sites: AOPAnet.org, amputee-coalition.org, or armsandlegsarenotaluxury.com.
If you believe every American has the right to be able to walk and wave, do something about it and tell your state legislator to support (insert bill number) to assure insurance fairness (parity) for amputees. It’s hard enough having to maneuver around the state legislature when you’re seeking support for your cause. But when you are trying to do it on one leg, it’s even harder. That’s why the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association is urging _________ state legislature to give amputees comparable benefits (called parity) for prosthetic arms and legs, and orthotic bracing for those with chronic limb impairment, to those they would receive for any other medical or surgical treatment. Currently, insurance companies are using arbitrary caps and lifetime limits, which may not be enough to reimburse amputees for even the most rudimentary prosthetic and orthotic devices. And it’s certainty not enough to cover today’s orthotics that can improve an MS patient’s balance or the prosthetics to restore an amputee’s mobility. Tell your state legislature to support _________, the orthotic and prosthetic parity bill that allows amputees and those with substantial limb impairments to get the medically necessary devices they need to live full, productive lives.

HIGH VALUE RESOURCES The AOPA Strategic Initiatives have produced valuable information to help you work smarter and increase profit margins. This information is available at NO CHARGE to AOPA members and many of these products are available for a fee to non-members.
FDA MANUAL The FDA Compliance Manual is a 52-page comprehensive manual to understanding the FDA as it applies to Orthotic and Prosthetic Professionals. Specifically, this manual focuses on FDA’s authority over medical devices and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) required under 21 C.F.R. 820 “Quality System Regulation.” The manual includes background information related to the question of whether GMPs apply to O&P patient care facilities and why AOPA believes FDA’s GMP regulations do not apply to O&P patient care facilities. The manual also provides useful guidance on how to comply with the GMP regulation, in combination with a GMP Self-Inspection Package, FDA Compliance GMP Storyboard and a copy of the applicable regulation. In addition, there is a section which provides specific details on what to do if an FDA investigator appears on the premises to conduct an investigation. AOPA Member: No Charge Non-Member: $50.00
IDEAL OFFICE OF THE FUTURE DVD AND WHITEPAPER This DVD and accompanying white paper will teach you to work smarter and increase profit margins. The overall goal of this project is to equip AOPA members to overcome the barriers inherent in current service models. Current models have caused profit erosion which threatens quality patient care because of difficul-
12
ties associated with managed care, administrative burdens and Medicare requirements. This DVD and white paper discuss redefining the traditional roles of the technician, support staff and practitioner in order for facilities to generate more revenue per practitioner, work smarter and increase profit margins to keep pace with the increasing demand for quality patient care. AOPA Member: No Charge Non-Member: $50.00
DIFFERENT BUSINESS MODELS “HOW TO” SERIES The purpose of the Different Business Models Initiative is to develop a comprehensive list of alternative revenue generating business practice models that patient care provider members may consider in terms of expanding or broadening their traditional base of business. Presentations are available on how to implement these models in various settings: r Introduction to the Various Business Models r Introduction to the Various Business Types r How Do I Add Mobility to My Practice and What are the Benefits? r How Can an O&P Institutional Based Branch Be Incorporated Into My Practice? r O&P With Ortho-Care Products: Out Patient Surgery Center Model r Physical Therapy Collaboration With an O&P Practice

This Initiative has not only identified a myriad of topics, but has produced five monographs on various topics. Available as a set only.
