www.oandpcare.org: A New O&P Resource for Insurance Regulators, Medical Directors, and Case Managers
June 22, 2004
Alexandria, VA. ABC is pleased to announce the launch of a new O&P resource for regulators of our profession: www.oandpcare.org. A website designed specifically for health insurance regulators, medical directors, and case managers, www.oandpcare.org functions as an easy to use resource for finding information on certification and licensure regulations, and as a portal to locate ABC Certified Practitioners and Accredited Facilities. =20
A vital part of ABC’s strategic marketing initiatives, www.oandpcare.org provides O&P facts and statistics supporting licensure and certification regulations. This resource is an important step in educating healthcare regulators & payors on the necessity of having O&P patient care provided by a qualified practitioner- an ABC certified practitioner. As encroachment from under-qualified practitioners remains persistent throughout the U.S., ABC will continue to promote our standards as the standards all O&P patient care providers must meet. =20
Please help us spread the word to all health insurance payors, case managers, and referral services in your area! =20
