Compare
Medfair vs OPIE, for clinics that bill ADP.
OPIE is a long-established practice-management system built for orthotic and prosthetic practices, and it goes deep on the workshop: purchasing, inventory, fabrication tracking and business reporting. Medfair is narrower. It is built around the Ontario ADP claim, from the application to the device build to the funder and patient portions on the invoice. Which one fits depends on whether your bottleneck is the workshop or the funding paperwork.
