Ortho Alliance

What Ortho Alliance does

OrthoAlliance is a physician-led orthopedic management services organization (MSO) that acquires and partners with independent orthopedic and sports medicine practices, delivering administrative, operational, and infrastructure support while preserving clinical autonomy for partner physicians. The company enrolls practices through a structured four-stage process (initial discussions, evaluation, letter of intent, and closing) and aligns incentives by encouraging physician partners and management to invest equity in the combined entity.

The platform spans practice management and administrative services, physician recruiting and development, Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) expansion, physical therapy, MRI diagnostics, and patient access/affordability programs. As of the most recent disclosure OrthoAlliance supports 12 partner practices, 180+ physicians, and 2,000+ employees across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. The leadership team comprises a CFO (Andrew Lange), Chief Medical Development Officer (Keith Berend, MD), COO (Nick Schmidt), CIO (Jovin Olikara), and General Counsel/CCO (Katrina Trimble). The company was founded in 2019, is headquartered in Cincinnati, and operates as a private organization with Revelstoke Capital Partners disclosed as a lead investor.

OrthoAlliance generates revenue through managed services arrangements with partner practices, capturing value from payor and vendor scale, operational efficiencies, and equity participation in partner groups. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting best-in-class orthopedic groups in defined Midwest regions, with services delivered through owned and partner clinics, ASCs, physical therapy centers, and MRI facilities. No public pricing or revenue figures are disclosed.
