O&P Strategy for DME Organizations Managing Risk or Networks
Some DME organizations take on orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) responsibilities—through delegated arrangements, network management or risk-based contracts—without furnishing every O&P service themselves. ARCLYFT helps these organizations understand the clinical services O&P requires and plan the network, responsibilities and coordination involved.
Questions We Help You Answer
Which O&P services—custom fabrication, prosthetic fitting, cranial orthoses, post-mastectomy fitting—require clinical providers we do not have?
Where are documented O&P capabilities located relative to the populations we are responsible for?
How should financial, operational and clinical responsibilities be divided between our organization and O&P providers?
How will referrals, documentation and follow-up move between our teams and O&P providers?
