Every year of training came with a script. Apply, interview, rotate, take the exam, advance. The next thing to do was never in question.
A hospital recruiter's quiet superpower is that you do not know what else is around. They are counting on you not knowing. This directory takes that superpower away. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the Alabama infectious disease market
The training years were structured. The first contract is not.
Then PGY-Final arrives. Suddenly there is no syllabus, no advisor telling you which clause to push back on, no upperclassman who has done this before. There is only a contract and a clock.
The map of independent infectious disease in Alabama was never compiled. So we compiled it. 48 practices, all physician-owned, all in one place. Now you can see what is around you before you sign into one corner of it.
What other resources point to in Alabama
This page lists 48 infectious disease practices in Alabama that are physician-owned and independently operated. Every listing comes from the NPPES NPI Registry, cross-referenced with DataForSEO business data for addresses, phone numbers, and websites. I've filtered out hospital systems, corporate medical groups, PE-backed entities, and academic positions. The result is 48 practices across 11 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.
The distinction between physician-owned and corporate-owned isn't just a label. It determines how a practice makes decisions about staffing, compensation, patient volume, and reinvestment. This directory exists because no other resource separates physician-owned infectious disease practices in Alabama from everything else. Every listing has an active NPI, is independently operated, and represents a real opportunity where a physician sets the clinical direction. Not an MBA. Not an investor. A doctor.

Frequently asked questions about infectious disease in Alabama
How many Infectious Disease private practices are in Alabama?
There are 22 physician-owned infectious disease private practices in Alabama, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
What does physician-owned mean?
A physician-owned practice is one where licensed physicians hold controlling ownership of the business entity. This is distinct from hospital employment, corporate medical groups, or private equity-backed practices where non-physician entities control the business.
What does the Corporate-Acquired or MSO-Affiliated flag mean?
The Corporate-Acquired flag means the practice was historically physician-owned but has since been acquired by a corporate entity such as Optum. The MSO-Affiliated flag means the practice uses a Management Services Organization for billing and administration while physicians retain practice-level ownership.
Inpatient Consulting vs. Outpatient Models in Alabama Infectious Disease Practice
Alabama doesn't have physician-owned independent infectious disease practices in this directory. Infectious disease care here runs through hospital systems like Huntsville Hospital Health System, and USA Health, and Infirmary Health.
What is an NPPES-verified practice?
NPPES is the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, a federal database maintained by CMS. Every practice in this directory has an active NPI record in NPPES, confirming it is a registered U.S. medical practice.
What outpatient revenue sources do private infectious disease practices in Alabama use?
Private ID practices in Alabama with strong outpatient models often combine: HIV primary care (with Ryan White Title III grant funding where applicable, which supports the practice financially for uninsured patients), travel medicine (yellow fever vaccination, malaria prophylaxis, pre-travel consultations, largely cash-pay), and outpatient antibiotic infusion therapy (OPAT) for patients completing IV antibiotic courses at home or in the office. These outpatient revenue streams reduce dependence on hospital inpatient admissions volume.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
Fair Market Value
The price at which a willing buyer and willing seller would agree to transact, with both parties having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. Physician compensation must meet fair market value to comply with federal anti-kickback and Stark Law requirements. Independent valuations are used for buy-in pricing, compensation benchmarking, and practice sales.
Collections-Based Compensation
A pay model in which a physician's income is tied directly to the revenue collected from their patient encounters. The physician typically receives a percentage of collections (40 to 55 percent is common) after overhead. This model rewards high-volume, high-acuity work but creates income variability.
Malpractice Insurance
Professional liability coverage that protects physicians against claims of medical negligence. Two main types exist: claims-made (covers claims only if both the incident and filing occur during the active policy) and occurrence-based (covers any incident during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is filed). Premium costs vary dramatically by specialty and state.
Ancillary Revenue
Income generated by a medical practice from services beyond physician office visits. Common sources include in-office imaging, laboratory testing, physical therapy, infusion services, and dispensing. Ancillary revenue can account for 20 to 40 percent of total practice revenue in procedure-heavy specialties.
NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System)
The federal registry maintained by CMS that assigns and tracks NPIs for all U.S. healthcare providers. NPPES data is publicly searchable and includes provider name, practice address, taxonomy codes, and enumeration date.
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
A federal program providing funding to states, metropolitan areas, and clinics to provide care and treatment for low-income people living with HIV who lack adequate health coverage. Ryan White-funded clinics can receive grants that support clinical operations serving uninsured or underinsured HIV patients.
OPAT (Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy)
Administration of intravenous antibiotics in an outpatient setting (home, infusion center, or physician office) for infections requiring prolonged IV treatment. OPAT services billed by the managing ID physician generate professional fee revenue; if the practice provides the infusion facility, additional facility fees may apply.
