Who We Are

We strive to ensure that all ophthalmic services are eligible for Medicare facility reimbursement, that industry regulations are well-informed and effective, and that facility fees are reasonable and equitable.

Our Member Centers and Teams
Our member centers and the teams they represent reside in the US. They come in all business forms: single-owner, practice-aligned, free-standing, multi-owner, and multi-practice ASCs. Most are ophthalmic-only, although a growing number of multi-specialty centers have joined OOSS. Through surveys, members tell us that they value the advocacy, information, education, and intelligence they gain through affiliation with OOSS. They also appreciate the highly personal and virtual qualities of OOSS that enable them to get answers or share input via the website, email, or a simple phone call.
