Introduction:
PrimeCare O&P Network is a network of 75 independently owned and operated orthotics and prosthetics
facilities in 15 states. Our certified practitioners include many of whom are the third, fourth or fifth generation
in their families to practice O&P and own and manage their facilities.
Our Board of Directors is well represented in the national and regional arenas, with one of our owners/executive
board members being the immediate past president of the American Orthotics and Prosthetics Association. (See
background material for more information on our Board).
We are very interested in negotiating national contracts with managed care organizations that will benefit both
our members and your organization’s insureds. In this document, you will find contact information for more
details on our Network. In addition, please visit our website at www.primecareop.com, to find information on
our scope of services and locations. We are very much looking forward to hearing from you and to beginning a
relationship that will be beneficial to all.
Primary Benefits to Your organization and its Insureds:
1. Cost effectiveness: Our facilities’ turnaround time is expedited due to the fact that they fabricate
orthotic and prosthetic devices on-site, rather than having a central fabrication facility that fabricates for
hundreds of offices in multiple states. Thus, our members are in a position to provide cost savings
through shorter hospital stays.
This quick turnaround provides the benefit of speedier treatment for the original trauma or condition,
which also ameliorates potential for additional expensive treatment due to complications.
2. Continuity of Care: Our practitioners have long-standing relationships with the physicians and other
healthcare providers in their areas. These professionals have come to trust our providers and prefer to
refer to practitioners that they are familiar with and have long standing working relationships with.
These relationships can be critically important to the continuity of care a patient receives.
Further, on many occasions, a long-term patient of one of our independent facilities will undergo a
change in their insurance coverage due to a job change or other event. The relationship that amputees,
in particular, have with their prosthetist is one that is very personal and important to the patient’s overall
well being. It is extremely traumatic to the amputee to have to change providers, and can slow down
recovery time as a result of the stress.

2. In many cases, with regard to our independent practitioners, the entire family of the patient has
relationships of trust with the practitioner and staff, causing further stress on the family at a time when
the patient needs full support for best recovery.
3. Continuing education: All of our providers are available to conduct continuing education and training
for your organization’s case managers and others on staff who would benefit from this type of
education. If there is a topic that your organization staff would like to see specifically covered, we can
tailor these presentations to the desired topic(s).
4. Quality of Care: Our credentialing process is very rigorous and we only allow facilities to participate in
our Network after having successfully passed our credentialing process, and having been cleared for
membership in the Network by our Clinical Directors Committee.
5. Local Nature of Our Practitioners: Our providers live in the cities and neighborhoods where they
practice. They understand the types of cases that are common in their area and the demographics and
special challenges those populations represent. By virtue of their long- term experience in these types of
cases, potentially costly and distressing trial and error can be alleviated. (One example of this type of
case would be farming accidents).
6. Ease In Contracting Process: Our administrative office will collect all of the credentialing materials
and coordinate on behalf of your organization and the membership so that during the process your
organization executives will have one, rather than 75 points of contact for materials and troubleshooting.
Conclusion:
Partnering together, PrimeCare O&P Network and your organization can together aid in restoring mobility and
a return to a productive lifestyle for your insureds who need prosthetic and orthotic care.
We would like to request a contract with your organization with an initial 12 month term to allow your
organization to see the cost benefits that can be gained through both the practical advantages we offer,
such as turnaround times and familiarity with the types of cases seen in our various regions, as well as
the intangibles, such as maintaining existing relationships.
