This year’s OPIE Summit in Jacksonville, FL (Nov 13–15) isn’t just another conference—it’s your chance to future-proof your practice for 2026 and beyond. Whether you’re on the admin, billing, or clinical teams, this three-track event is laser-focused on giving you the practical tools and forward-thinking mindset you’ll need to thrive as the O&P continues to transform. 

Why the OPIE Summit Matters in 2025 

You know it: managing an orthotics and prosthetics practice is getting more complex every year. The pace of digital innovation is relentless, regulatory expectations are higher, and your team is expected to deliver seamless patient care no matter what’s thrown at them. The Summit’s tracks address these challenges head-on, ensuring that you, your staff, and your patients come out ahead. 

The Admin Track: Your Command Center for Change 

From day one, the admin agenda dives right into real-world workflow demos, leadership sessions, and a deep dive into digital transformation across your front office operations. Expect hands-on sessions with OPIE Anywhere, intake-to-bill best practices, and new ways to streamline team-based workflows. You’ll get a first look at patient engagement tools and documentation strategies that will position your practice for less friction, fewer payment delays, and happier patients in the year ahead. 

Day two builds on this foundation with customized workflows, more advanced demos, and real talk about how to transform “admin” from a cost center into a strategic asset. You’ll leave with actionable insights—from breakout sessions to hands-on labs—that can be implemented immediately…literally! 

The Billing Track: Conquering Complexity (and Getting Paid Faster) 

Billing in 2026 will require skills and agility that simply weren’t on the radar a decade ago. Our billing track is pure pragmatism: presentation/hands-on combos that cover intake-to-bill, pre-billing workspaces, documentation for audit preparedness, and even workflow integrations for maximizing claim payment “the first time, every time.” 

See OPIE’s new billing process in action, roll up your sleeves during hands-on labs, and learn how integrated digital platforms can reduce denials and tighten your revenue cycle. Pre-billing workspace sessions with real customers (yes, your peers) make sure you’re not just learning theory—you’re solving live problems. That’s the kind of edge you need to stay ahead of the game. 

The Clinician Track: The Future of Patient-Centered Care 

For clinicians, the Summit is about one thing: equipping you to deliver better patient outcomes in a digital, data-rich world. The clinician agenda starts with vision-setting around what successful O&P practice looks like in the next era and quickly pivots to applied skills—digital clinical workflows, hands-on fabrication labs, and integrating traditional methods with advanced tech. 

You’ll rotate through skill stations, pick up advanced 3D shaping and modifying techniques, and dive into new evaluation forms that streamline patient notes and unlock better continuity of care. Don’t worry: we build in plenty of collaborative time, specialty breakouts, and even a little after-hours fun to keep you connected as you grow your skillset. 

All Together on Saturday: Synthesis, Vision, and Action 

The closing sessions bring all tracks together for a general meeting—a powerful setting for networking, cross-pollinating ideas, and building visibility for your team in a diverse professional community. With “What’s Next: Big Vision for 2026” and a facilitated planning workshop, you’ll leave with a concrete digital transformation plan. No more guessing what you’ll need to stay competitive; instead, you’ll be equipped to map the path forward, and ready to make it happen. 

What Will Set You Apart in 2026? 

  • Mastery of digital-first workflows—in both clinical and admin realms—that actually free professionals to focus on patient care. 

  • Fearless documentation: Learn standards that make compliance less of a burden and more of an advantage. 

  • Integrated billing intelligence that gets your practice paid faster and keeps your margins healthy. 

  • A network of progressive, like-minded professionals who share best practices and support one another in real time. 

Why Wait?

This is your chance to get ahead of regulatory change, transform patient experience, and revitalize your business model, all while learning directly from experts and peers who live your challenges every day. 

Bring your burning questions, your most stubborn workflow headaches, and your vision for what’s possible. Walk away with strategies, tools, and professional relationships that will move your practice—not just a step forward, but miles ahead. 

See you in Jacksonville—where the future of allied health practice begins.
