The Orthotic and Prosthetic (O&P) Alliance was formed by four organizations in 2006 (AOPA, the Academy, NAAOP, and ABC) to provide a unified voice for the O&P profession on issues impacting the quality of O&P care, qualifications of practitioners, coverage and reimbursement, and education and research. The Board of Certification/Accreditation (BOC) joined the O&P Alliance in 2010 and has been an active member of the coalition over the past 15 years. We recognize BOC’s past contributions and respect its decision to withdraw from the O&P Alliance as it seeks to resolve its matters with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The four member organizations of the O&P Alliance remain unified and will continue our ongoing advocacy on behalf of the O&P profession and the patients we serve.
The O&P Alliance:
- American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics
- National Association for the Advancement of Orthotics and Prosthetics
- The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists
- The American Orthothic and Prosthetic Association
