O&P Assist Featured in The O&P EDGE, September 2025
O&P Assist was featured in The O&P EDGE’s September 2025 issue, in Taking Care of Business: Balancing Care and Profitability to Succeed in O&P, for the role AI is starting to play in the business side of running a practice.
The piece takes on a question most practice owners live with and few trade articles address directly: how do you run a financially sound business without letting that pressure reshape the care you deliver? It covers profitability, marketing, referral relationships, and the creative approaches independent clinics use to stand apart, from facility design to niche service lines.
One figure from the article is worth sitting with. There are between 1,300 and 1,700 independent O&P practices operating in the United States, and they carry the same business complexity as the large corporate groups without the deeper resources or the repeatable back-office processes those groups can build.
That gap is the reason O&P Assist exists. For an independent practice, documentation and reimbursement are not a back-office detail. They are the difference between care delivered and care paid for, and the administrative weight of getting them right falls on the same people seeing patients.
