We’re excited for the next step in the evolution of our practice and optimistic about what it means for our patients.”

USFAS will allow us to spend more time delivering an individualized level of care that sets the stage for even better patient outcomes.”

With this partnership, Reston Podiatry Associates will benefit from USFAS’ extensive administrative and support services, which include top-of-the-line information technology, a dedicated clinical compliance team, electronic medical records, payor credentialing and contracting, revenue cycle management, human resources, finance and accounting and business development.
