Orthopedic Care Partners

What Orthopedic Care Partners does

Orthopedic Care Partners (OCP) is a private equity-backed management services organization (MSO) that partners with high-performing orthopedic surgery practices across the United States. Founded in 2017 by Varsity Healthcare Partners and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, OCP provides affiliated practices with administrative, operational, and strategic support services—including revenue cycle management, payor contracting, physician recruitment, ASC operations, and a fully-integrated data analytics platform tracking approximately 100 clinic KPIs—while allowing partner physicians to retain clinical autonomy and brand identity.

The platform operates across five states (Florida, Colorado, Missouri, Arizona, and Utah) through 42 clinical locations and 6 ambulatory surgery centers, supporting 138+ physicians that include world-renowned orthopedic and sports medicine specialists such as Dr. Marc Philippon of The Steadman Clinic. OCP's underlying technology stack combines a clinic KPI analytics platform, a tech-enabled patient risk stratification tool for value-based care contracts, and standardized clinical pathways; these capabilities underpin active participation in Medicare's BPCI-A program and commercial bundled payment arrangements.

OCP generates revenue through management services agreements with affiliated practices and direct ASC operations, monetizing scale across RCM, payor negotiations, recruiting, and ancillary service expansion. The platform has completed 23+ practice affiliations since inception and in December 2024 closed a $185 million strategic capital raise from Brookfield Asset Management alongside a $358 million senior debt refinancing led by TPG Twin Brook Capital Partners. The company is governed by an MSO-plus-services model that consolidates fragmented, high-quality orthopedic groups into a national musculoskeletal platform while preserving partner practice brands and physician ownership alignment of approximately 57%.

Direct peers

• Spire Orthopedic Partners: Spire Orthopedic Partners is a private equity-backed orthopedic MSO platform built around partner practices — the closest direct competitor to OCP, with the same model of affiliating high-performing orthopedic groups, operating ASCs, and pursuing value-based care arrangements.
• US Orthopedic Partners (USOP): USOP is a PE-backed orthopedic practice management platform that has rapidly acquired orthopedic groups across multiple states. Same model as OCP (MSO + ASC + physician partnership), making it a direct consolidator competitor.
• HOPCo (Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company): HOPCo partners with orthopedic and musculoskeletal practices to provide MSO infrastructure including value-based care analytics, clinical pathways, and ASC management — a direct competitor targeting the same orthopedic practice consolidation opportunity as OCP.
• Rothman Orthopaedic Institute: Rothman is a large multi-specialty orthopedic practice group in the Mid-Atlantic and Florida with its own MSO infrastructure (200+ physicians at 40+ locations under former CEO Ed Tufaro, now OCP President/COO). Competes both as an acquirer and a potential affiliation target.
• OrthoCarolina: OrthoCarolina is one of the largest independent orthopedic practices in the US, operating a network of specialty clinics, urgent care, and physical therapy across the Carolinas. Represents both a peer in the orthopedic consolidation space and a candidate affiliation target.
• Resurgens Orthopaedics: Resurgens Orthopaedics is a large multi-specialty orthopedic practice in the Southeast (Georgia), representing another independent orthopedic group at scale — comparable to OCP's affiliated practices and a potential consolidation target.

Broad incumbents

• Tenet Healthcare (USPI): Tenet's USPI is the largest operator of ambulatory surgery centers in the US, including orthopedic-focused ASCs. While not a pure orthopedic MSO, USPI competes for ASC development opportunities and physician alignment that OCP also pursues.
• Surgery Partners: Surgery Partners is a large publicly-traded operator of short-stay surgical facilities including orthopedic ASCs. While focused on facility ownership rather than physician MSO, it competes for ASC partnerships and is a relevant scaled player in orthopedic outpatient surgery.
• Optum / UnitedHealth Group (Orthopedic-aligned care delivery): Optum has rapidly acquired physician practices and MSO platforms across specialties (and is the prior employer of OCP's new CTO who led integration of 235+ practices). Represents the largest scaled player consolidating care delivery and a potential longer-term competitive threat or acquirer of orthopedic platforms like OCP.

Emerging players

• ValueHealth: ValueHealth is a value-based care platform that partners with health systems and physicians to develop ambulatory centers of excellence — including OCP's joint venture in The Villages, FL. Operates in adjacent value-based surgical care space.
