PrimeFare East Set for May 30-31

The tenth annual PrimeFare East Regional Conference will take place May 30-31 at the Nashville Convention Center, Nashville, Tennessee. The program will feature opportunities for up to 12 hours of prosthetics, orthotics, and pedorthics courses, as well as up to eight hours of post-mastectomy credits. PrimeFare is a scientific symposium with hands-on exposure for maximum learning experiences.

The keynote presentation will feature representatives from the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA) and the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) for an update regarding the national drive for O&P parity. The presentation will provide an overview of both organizations' goals and efforts followed by a question-and-answer session.

Progress has been made not only in achieving parity for prosthetic care, but also for orthotics. Several states have passed laws ensuring access to prosthetics and orthotics. The ACA and AOPA are working to bring their combined long-term experience, contacts, and efforts to bear on making sure that coverage is aevailable and parity achieved for orthotic and prosthetic care. Efforts are also being made to advance patient choice in choosing providers.

"We really appreciate the continued support year after year of our returning sponsors and warmly welcome our new sponsors," added Cathie Pruitt, PrimeFare president and CEO.
