Practice Compliance Solutions, CodeSAFEPLUS, Practice Resource Management and EyeCode Education have come together to form Practice Performance Partners.

This new team says they will “help take the guesswork out of managing a successful practice by providing tailored solutions that help eyecare professionals do what they do best: focus on patient care.”

“Our clients tell us that the growing complexity of compliance, billing and education is pulling them away from their core mission of delivering exceptional eyecare,” said Chris Wolfe, OD, FAAO, Dipl. ABO, a founding partner. “That’s why we created Practice Performance Partners — to give doctors peace of mind and practical solutions that simplify their workload and improve their bottom line.”

A New Kind of Support Partner for Eyecare Practices

Today’s optometrists face unprecedented challenges: managing compliance with ever-changing regulations, ensuring accurate billing and staying current with the latest clinical practices — all while running a business.

Practice Performance Partners says it understands that doctors are looking for a partner they can trust to provide clear, actionable guidance in these areas.

  • Personalized Practice and Industry Consulting Services: Its experts work closely with clients to develop strategies that fit practice goals.
  • Revenue Cycle Management: Practice Performance Partners streamlines the billing processes to improve cash flow and reduce headaches.
  • Compliance Solutions: Clients will be given support to stay ahead of audits and regulatory changes with expert guidance tailored to optometry.
  • Education and Training: Practice owners will be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to handle everything from billing to patient care through Practice Performance Partners’ flexible learning programs.

“Eyecare professionals need a partner who understands the challenges they face every day,” said Joe DeLoach, OD, FAAO. “We’re here to make their jobs easier so they can spend more time with their patients.”

Empowering Eyecare Through Expertise and Innovation

Practice Performance Partners unites a collective of industry experts, combining decades of specialized knowledge and experience to empower eyecare providers and help their practices thrive. Founding members include:

  • Dr. Chris Wolfe: Educator and clinician, known for his practical insights in optometric practice management.
  • Dr. Joe DeLoach: Compliance expert with decades of experience guiding practices through regulatory challenges.
  • Dr. John Rumpakis: A recognized industry leader in coding and billing, reimbursement, and medical economics, helping practices and industry partners navigate the challenging healthcare environment.
  • Dr. Peter Cass: Experienced practice management and health information technology consultant known for his hands-on approach and passion for improving practice efficiency.
  • Bj Avery: Former association director with a deep understanding of what it takes to help practices thrive.

“When we say we understand optometry, it’s because we’ve lived it,” said Bj Avery. “We know the pressures doctors face, and we’re here to help them navigate those challenges with confidence.”

The Client Journey: From Overwhelmed to Empowered

Optometrists often feel overwhelmed by the demands of running a practice. Practice Performance Partners says it will take clients “on a journey from feeling burdened to feeling empowered by offering step-by-step solutions that address their most pressing concerns.”

The new consultancy’s goal is for doctors to spend less time worrying about compliance and revenue and more time delivering the care their patients deserve.

A Vision for the Future

“Our vision is straightforward: We want to empower everyone in the eyecare industry to operate a thriving, compliant and profitable enterprise,” said John Rumpakis, OD, MBA, who serves as CEO of the new partnership. “When practices flourish, industry partners grow and patients receive superior care. It’s a win-win-win across the board.”

With services now available nationwide, Practice Performance Partners says it is ready to partner with eyecare practices and industry partners across the country to help them achieve their goals.
