Empowering Eye Care Professionals to Focus on Patient Care: Four Industry Leaders Unite to Simplify Practice Success

January 1, 2025 — In a move set to redefine the way optometry practices receive support, four industry-leading companies — Practice Compliance Solutions, CodeSAFEPLUS®, Practice Resource Management, and EyeCode Education — have come together to form Practice Performance Partners. This new powerhouse team will help take the guesswork out of managing a successful practice by providing tailored solutions that help eye care 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 eye care," said Dr. Chris Wolfe, 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 Eye Care 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 understands that doctors are looking for a partner they can trust to provide clear, actionable guidance in these areas.

That’s why Practice Performance Partners offers:

• Personalized Practice and Industry Consulting Services:      Each practice is unique, and our experts work closely with clients to develop strategies that fit practice goals.
• Revenue Cycle Management: No more chasing payments. We streamline the billing processes to improve cash flow and reduce headaches.
• Compliance Solutions: Stay ahead of audits and regulatory changes with expert guidance tailored to optometry.
• Education and Training: Equip clients with the knowledge and confidence to handle everything from billing to patient care through our flexible learning programs.

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

Empowering Eye Care Through Expertise and Innovation

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

• Dr. Chris Wolfe: Visionary educator and clinician, known for his practical insights in optometric practice management.
• Dr. Joe DeLoach: Renowned compliance expert with decades of experience guiding practices through regulatory challenges.
• Dr. John Rumpakis: A recognized industry leader in coding & billing, reimbursement, and medical economics, helping practices and industry partners navigate the challenging health care 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 takes clients on a journey from feeling burdened to feeling empowered by offering step-by-step solutions that address their most pressing concerns. The result? Doctors spend less time worrying about compliance and revenue and more time delivering the care their patients deserve.

A Vision for the Future

This merger isn’t just about combining services — it’s about creating a movement to elevate the entire eyecare industry.

"Our vision is straightforward: We want to empower everyone in the eyecare industry to operate a thriving, compliant, and profitable enterprise," said Dr. John Rumpakis, CEO. "When practices flourish, industry partners grow, and patients receive superior care. It’s a win-win-win across the board."
