The AAOE (American Association of Orthopedic Executives) Annual Conference is back for 2021, and the Phoenix Ortho team is proud to be a part of it! This year, the conference is taking place in Dallas, Texas, from October 29 to November 1.
What Is AAOE?
AAOE is an organization dedicated to promoting “quality healthcare practice management in the orthopedic and musculoskeletal industry.” The AAOE Annual Conference is a gathering of top orthopedic executives, thought leaders, and vendors where everyone has a chance to share their latest innovations and ideas for improving orthopedic practices and promote the industry as a whole.
What Is Phoenix Ortho Doing at AAOE 2021?
The Phoenix Ortho team will be appearing at AAOE booth #501 with in-booth guests Karen Zupko and Jennifer Bell from KarenZupko & Associates (KZA).

KZA Consultations at the Phoenix Ortho AAOE Booth
Karen Zupko and Jennifer Bell will be at Phoenix Ortho’s AAOE booth to present consultations on some major topics related to orthopedic practice management. Two topics that Karen Zupko and Jennifer Bell are planning to provide consultations on include:
1: Dealing with Claim Denials
Collections has long been a challenge for orthopedic practices. One of the major things killing orthopedic clinics in recent years has been claim denials from insurance companies and other payer organizations.
Karen Zupko will be on hand at the Phoenix Ortho booth to provide consultations about how to deal with claim denials, highlight the need for “Denial Reports,” and how she used the Phoenix Ortho PM solution, powered by Open Practice, to generate the reports needed to improve orthopedic clinic cash flow.
2: The Impact of Telemedicine on Orthopedic Practices
The healthcare industry has long been moving towards telemedicine as a solution. However, the COVID-19 pandemic took what was once considered a “nice to have” solution and made it into a “must have” for orthopedic practice workflows.
Karen Zupko and Jennifer Bell will provide our AAOE booth visitors with consultations discussing the impact of telemedicine technologies on orthopedic practice management, advice for integrating telemedicine, and more!
