American Orthotic & Prosthetic Center

What American Orthotic & Prosthetic Center does

American Orthotic & Prosthetic Center (AOPC) is a privately held, Virginia-based healthcare services company that has been providing custom orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) devices since its founding in 1990. The firm operates five clinical locations across Virginia — with a headquarters office at 2120 Tomlynn Street in Richmond and an additional site in South Hill — and provides comprehensive evaluation, in-house fabrication, and fitting services for amputees and patients requiring orthotic support. Both staff and facilities hold American Board for Certification (ABC) credentials, and the company emphasizes ongoing professional certification as device technology evolves.

The company's service portfolio centers on two core lines (Orthotic Services and Prosthetic Services), supplemented by patient-facing digital tools — the Foot Finder, Knee Finder, and Socket Finder — that allow users to filter prosthetic components by brand, style, weight, L-code, and other attributes, as well as the OTS Orthotic Finder for referring clinicians. The firm also produces patient education materials (Care Manuals covering transfemoral and transtibial amputee care) and runs in-service continuing education programs for healthcare professionals. Its registered CAGE code (37CM8) and federal identifiers (AOPC: MQJFCCEBCE65) suggest involvement with government and veterans healthcare procurement, and the company supports community outreach including volunteer work at Veterans Healthcare clinics and international mission trips to Haiti, Jamaica, and the Philippines.

AOPC generates revenue through direct clinical service delivery to individual patients and referring healthcare providers, accepting third-party insurance plans; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a single corporate entity (American Orthotic and Prosthetic Center, Inc.) with no disclosed institutional ownership, parent company, or external funding history. With 11–50 employees, the business is a small-scale, regionally focused O&P practice that competes on clinical credentials, in-house manufacturing control, and multi-location convenience rather than scale or proprietary technology.

Direct peers

• Össur: Icelandic-headquartered global manufacturer of prosthetic limbs (including the Rheo, Power Knee microprocessor lines) and orthotic bracing. Highly comparable as both a component supplier and competitor whose products AOPC prescribes and fits via the Knee Finder/Foot Finder tools.
• Bionic Prosthetics & Orthotics: U.S. O&P group with locations in the Southeast (e.g., Jacksonville, FL) providing custom orthotic and prosthetic devices. Closely comparable as a similarly sized private regional provider with in-house fabrication and ABC-certified clinicians.
• Fillauer Companies: Tennessee-based U.S. manufacturer of prosthetic and orthotic components, including feet, knees, and upper-limb devices. Comparable as a domestic O&P component supplier and as a peer practice-adjacent vendor in the same U.S. prosthetics ecosystem.
• Ability Prosthetics & Orthotics: Multi-state U.S. O&P provider operating across the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Direct peer in scope and size, offering custom orthotic and prosthetic fabrication, fittings, and patient care - closely comparable business model to AOPC.
• Ottobock: Global German-based manufacturer and supplier of prosthetic components (microprocessor knees, feet, sockets) and orthotic devices. Comparable as the upstream supplier whose components AOPC fits, and as a competing end-to-end O&P solutions provider in select markets.

Regional players

• Medical Center Orthotics & Prosthetics (MCOP): Mid-Atlantic and national O&P provider offering custom prosthetics and orthotics with in-house fabrication. Comparable service portfolio and patient segments, with partial geographic overlap in the Eastern U.S. and stronger digital presence.
• Next Step Orthotics & Prosthetics: Regional U.S. O&P provider operating primarily in the Midwest with a similar custom orthotic and prosthetic offering, certified clinical staff, and multi-clinic model. Comparable in service mix but serves a different geography than AOPC.

Broad incumbents

• Hanger, Inc. (Hanger Clinic): NYSE-listed national O&P provider operating ~900 patient care clinics across the U.S. Directly comparable to AOPC in offering custom orthotic and prosthetic devices, with overlapping patient base (amputees, orthotic users) but vastly greater scale, payer contracting leverage, and geographic reach.
