Obstetrics & Gynecology Private Practices in Alabama (52 Verified Groups) | Daniel Aragón

There are 52 physician-owned obstetrics & gynecology practices in Alabama, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.

The directory the hospitals will not show you.

Physician-Owned Obstetrics & Gynecology Groups in Alabama

70 obstetrics & gynecology groups in Alabama that physicians still own. No hospital systems, no private equity, no academic posts. Just the map nobody else built.

Pre-med. Med school. Match. Step 1. Step 2. Boards. Every year there was a next page, and someone always handed it to you.

The difference between a physician who has read this directory and one who has not is the difference between negotiating from options and negotiating from desperation. Same skills, same training, same offer letter. Different leverage. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the Alabama obstetrics & gynecology market

PGY-Final-Year is the first time the path is not drawn for you.

Then your final year starts and the path stops drawing itself. Recruiters start emailing. Contracts show up before you have asked anyone what a contract is supposed to look like.

Before you compare salary numbers, see how many physician-owned groups actually exist in your specialty and state. Then negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.

What other resources point to in Alabama

This page lists 70 obstetrics & gynecology 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 70 practices across 21 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.

Here's why I built this. When I was looking at private practice opportunities, I couldn't find a single resource that separated physician-owned practices from everything else. Job boards don't do it. Recruiter databases don't do it. So I built it from the NPPES registry. Whether you're finishing training, thinking about a lateral move, or exploring partnership-track positions in Alabama, this gives you a filtered starting point that actually tells you who owns what.

The Alabama obstetrics & gynecology market in detail

Alabama's physician-owned obstetrics & gynecology directory lists 52 practice locations across 18 cities. The largest groups are Henderson & Walton Women's Center, P.C. (5 locations) and Alabama Pregnancy Test Center (2 locations).

None of the obstetrics & gynecology practices listed in Alabama carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.

Practices span 18 cities including Alabaster, Bayou La Batre, Birmingham, and Decatur.

The PGY-Final-Year Path

Three steps from "recruited" to "recruiter."

See what is out there. Read the contract. Get a physician-specific attorney to sign off. In that order.

Frequently asked questions about obstetrics & gynecology in Alabama

How many Obstetrics & Gynecology private practices are in Alabama?

There are 52 physician-owned obstetrics & gynecology 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.

Malpractice Premiums for OB/GYN in Alabama

Alabama has 5 physician-owned obstetrics & gynecology practices in this directory, including OB-GYN Associates of Alabama (Birmingham), OBGYN Associates of Mobile (Mobile), and Premier Women's Health of Huntsville (Huntsville).

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.

How much does malpractice insurance cost for an OB/GYN in private practice in Alabama?

OB/GYN malpractice premiums are among the highest in medicine. Full-scope OB/GYN premiums in Alabama typically range from $60,000 to over $150,000 per year depending on county, practice type, and claims history. GYN-only practice (no deliveries) carries significantly lower premiums. Group policies often reduce per-physician cost compared to solo coverage. Always confirm who pays the tail premium at departure, this can represent 1.5-2x the annual premium as a one-time cost.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts

Call Coverage
The obligation to provide after-hours or weekend coverage for patient emergencies. Contracts should specify call frequency (1 in 4, 1 in 6, etc.), whether call is compensated separately, and whether the physician takes call from home or in-house. Unrestricted call obligations are a common source of physician burnout.
Credentialing
The process by which hospitals and insurance companies verify a physician's education, training, board certification, licensure, and malpractice history before granting privileges or network participation. Credentialing typically takes 60 to 120 days and must be completed before a physician can bill patients under a new practice or facility.
PC (Professional Corporation)
A state-chartered corporation formed by licensed professionals. Physicians use PCs to own and operate their practices with liability separation. Many states require medical practices to be structured as PCs rather than standard LLCs or general partnerships.
PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company)
A hybrid entity combining LLC flexibility with professional licensing requirements. PLLCs are common for physician-owned practices in states that permit them. They offer pass-through taxation and personal liability protection for non-malpractice claims.
MSO (Management Services Organization)
A non-physician entity that provides administrative infrastructure (billing, coding, EHR support, payer contracting) to physician-owned practices. MSO arrangements let physicians retain clinical and practice ownership while outsourcing back-office operations. Private equity commonly uses MSO structures to influence practice operations without technically owning the medical entity.
Occurrence-Based Malpractice Policy
A malpractice policy that covers any incident that occurred during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is filed. No tail insurance is required upon departure. More expensive annually than claims-made policies. Less common but eliminates departure tail risk entirely.
Claims-Made Malpractice Policy
A malpractice policy that covers claims only if both the incident and the claim filing occur while the policy is active. A tail endorsement is required at departure to cover future claims for past incidents. Most common policy type in private practice.
