Alaska Physical Medicine Practices, Vetted and Independent

10 independent physical medicine practices across Alaska, cross-referenced against NPPES, state medical boards, and each practice's own website. Negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.

Pre-med was a checklist. Med school was a checklist. Residency interviews were a checklist. Boards were a checklist. Even the Match algorithm was a checklist someone else wrote.

Once you can name three independent physical medicine groups in your target city, every clause in your hospital contract becomes negotiable in a way it was not five minutes ago. The same non-compete, the same productivity formula, the same partnership track suddenly have something to be measured against. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the Alaska physical medicine market

Match Day was the last page someone handed you.

Then you hit your last year of training and the structure ends. Someone wires you a stipend to come look at a hospital. Someone else sends an MSA with a non-compete you do not have time to read.

What this directory does is hand you the page you were missing. Every physician-owned physical medicine group in Alaska, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.

What other resources point to in Alaska

This page lists 10 physical medicine practices in Alaska 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 10 practices across 2 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.

What makes this useful is specificity. Instead of scrolling through a job board where hospital positions, locum postings, and real private practice opportunities all look the same, you get a focused list of physician-owned physical medicine practices in Alaska. Every one has been verified through the federal NPI registry. Contact information and websites are included so you can start your research without a recruiter standing between you and the practice.

Frequently asked questions about physical medicine in Alaska

How many Physical Medicine private practices are in Alaska?

There are 5 physician-owned physical medicine private practices in Alaska, 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.

Ancillary Services and Facility Ownership in Alaska PM&R Practice

Alaska doesn't have physician-owned independent physical medicine practices in this directory. Physical medicine care here runs through hospital systems like Providence Alaska Medical Center, and Regional Hospital, and Foundation Health Partners.

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.

Can PM&R physicians in Alaska own physical therapy practices where they refer patients?

Generally no. The Physician Self-Referral Law (Stark Law) prohibits physicians from referring Medicare patients to physical therapy or occupational therapy facilities in which the physician has a financial interest, unless a specific statutory exception applies. The in-office ancillary services exception may apply in limited circumstances if the PT services are directly supervised and provided in the same office where the physician practices. Consult a healthcare attorney before any PM&R practice acquires or refers to a PT facility with physician ownership.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts

RVU (Relative Value Unit)
A standardized measure of physician productivity used by Medicare and most commercial payers to determine reimbursement. Each CPT code carries a work RVU, practice expense RVU, and malpractice RVU. Many physician contracts tie compensation to RVU production thresholds, with bonuses above a defined baseline.
Compensation Formula
The contractual method used to calculate physician pay. Common models include guaranteed salary, eat-what-you-kill (collections-based), salary plus production bonus (RVU or collections above a threshold), and equal-share partnership distributions. The formula directly affects income stability, upside potential, and alignment with practice goals.
Partnership Buy-In
The purchase of an ownership stake in a physician practice entity, typically offered after an associate track of 2 to 5 years. The buy-in price is calculated using business valuation, a multiple of earnings, or a formula tied to practice receivables. True equity buy-ins include voting rights and profit distributions.
Without-Cause Termination
A contract clause that allows either party to end the employment agreement without stating a reason, typically with 60 to 120 days written notice. The notice period, post-termination obligations (non-compete activation, tail insurance responsibility), and severance terms are negotiable. Shorter notice periods favor the employer.
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.
EMG/NCS (Electromyography / Nerve Conduction Study)
Electrodiagnostic tests that assess the electrical activity of muscles (EMG) and the speed of signal transmission along nerves (NCS). Common in PM&R and neurology practices for diagnosing neuropathy, radiculopathy, and myopathy. When performed in a physician-owned EMG lab, both professional and technical components are billed.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
A minimally invasive pain management procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to disrupt nerve conduction and reduce chronic pain, commonly used for facet joint pain in the spine. When performed in a physician-owned procedure suite, the practice bills a facility fee in addition to the physician's professional fee.
