NOTE ABOUT 2025 DUES
AOPA has reviewed its dues structure over the past year to ensure not only that we continue to provide you with high-quality services, programs, and benefits that you expect from AOPA, but that the dues are equitable across membership types and levels. The new structure is also more sustainable for AOPA in the changing O&P landscape. AOPA staff worked with a consultant who specializes in association memberships to ensure the use of best practices in the review.
The new dues structure recently approved by the Board will be effective for the 2025 cycle and will affect all AOPA member organizations. Your organization may see a slight decrease or a slight increase. For Patient Care Facilities we are transitioning from dues based on number of affiliates to dues based on annual revenue. All affiliates will be included without an additional fee and all on-demand AOPAversity education will be accessible for free.
Supplier members’ dues will continue to be based on revenue.
- Annual revenue under $999,999: $2,595
- Annual revenue $1-4.9M: $3,095
- Annual revenue $5 – 19.9M: $4,295
- Annual revenue $20-$50M: $5,995
- Annual revenue >$50M: to be determined on a case-by-case basis

Additional (Affiliate) Locations
Will the customers and patients who use AOPA company listings see YOU or your competition? Ensure that your O&P company receives maximum visibility and include all your locations as affiliate members! Affiliates also receive separate listings in the online Membership Directory — a resource used by case managers, prospective patients; and customers to locate O&P businesses for patient care.
An affiliate location represents a branch or subsidiary location of a company (patient care facility), supplier, or educational and research member. Affiliates are no longer an additional fee.
