April 3rd, 2006, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags />Aliso Viejo, CA - Today it
was announced that Ossur is the exclusive supplier of prosthetic components
to the OPGA/POINT Premier Vendor Program (PVP) membership effective April
1st, 2006.
This landmark agreement marks the first time a prosthetics manufacturer has
partnered with the PVP membership. This partnership represents our on-going
commitment and dedication to all of our customers. Through the
establishment of an organized platform, we can now work more closely with
our independent customers as we face the larger issues affecting our
industry today, said Tim McCarthy, vice president of sales & marketing for
Ossur. It is through partnerships such as this that will allow us to unify
as an industry and take on those challenges, he added.
As a leader and innovator in the O & P profession, Ossur and OPGA/POINT
share the vision that education and partnership are essential to the success
of this industry, said Jim Andreassen, president of OPGA/POINT. Working
alongside a manufacturer that has consistently provided the tools of
business success fits into the goals of OPGA/POINT to offer its membership
the essential solutions needed to compete and prosper in today's rapidly
changing healthcare environment, he said.
The OPGA/POINT PVP Membership is dedicated to aligning independent O & P
facilities to optimize managed care relationships, prevent competitive
bidding, provide quality vendors, education and clinical services designed
to enhance the business practice.
