There are 38 physician-owned diagnostic radiology practices in Alabama, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
49 independent diagnostic radiology practices across Alabama, cross-referenced against NPPES, state medical boards, and each practice's own website. Negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.
For 15 years the path was visible. Pre-clinical, clinical, sub-I, Match, intern year, residency, fellowship. Every transition had a name and a date.
Most diagnostic radiology physicians sign their first contract without knowing how many other groups exist within driving distance. This is the single largest source of leverage you give away in your career, and you give it away because nobody told you the information was out there. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.
Hospital-employed, government-operated, and academic positions are excluded. These are not independent private practices:

You're looking at 38 physician-owned diagnostic radiology practices in Alabama. I sourced all of them from the NPPES NPI Registry and filtered out everything that doesn't meet the standard of independent physician ownership.

The coverage spans 15 cities statewide.
I made this because the information doesn't exist in one place anywhere else.

This page does that work for you. 38 practices, 15 cities, all verified through the NPPES NPI Registry. Contact them directly.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 38 physician-owned diagnostic radiology private practices in Alabama, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
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.
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.
Alabama's physician-owned diagnostic radiology practices include Birmingham Radiological Group (Birmingham), Mobile Radiology Group (Mobile), and North Alabama Radiology (Huntsville).
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.
Under a W-2 arrangement, the radiology group withholds income taxes, pays half of FICA taxes, and typically provides benefits. Under a 1099 independent contractor arrangement, you pay self-employment tax (15.3% on earnings up to the FICA cap), fund your own benefits, and are responsible for quarterly estimated tax payments. The 1099 gross income is often higher to compensate, but confirm who pays malpractice coverage, as this is a major variable in your net income calculation.
