Physician-Owned Physical Medicine Practices in Arkansas
Most PGY-Final-Year physicians sign their first physical medicine contract in Arkansas without knowing what else is out there. This directory shows the 41 groups they were never told about.
From your first MCAT prep book to your last in-training exam, the next step was always pre-written. Someone handed you the syllabus. You showed up. You did the work.
If a recruiter tells you the hospital is the only viable physical medicine employer within driving distance, you should be able to name five physician-owned groups that prove otherwise before the end of the call. This directory is how you get to five. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the Arkansas physical medicine market
The training years were structured. The first contract is not.
Then PGY-Final hits, and the page is blank. A recruiter calls. A contract lands in your inbox with a 50-mile non-compete, an opaque productivity model, and a signing bonus you do not understand the strings on.
Nobody is telling you what other physical medicine practices exist in Arkansas, what the contract really says, or which lawyer to call. The senior people in your program signed without reading because they had no guide either. This directory is the first page of the map.
What other resources point to in Arkansas
This page lists 41 physical medicine practices in Arkansas 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 41 practices across 14 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 physical medicine practices in Arkansas 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 physical medicine in Arkansas
How many Physical Medicine private practices are in Arkansas?
There are 32 physician-owned physical medicine private practices in Arkansas, 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 Arkansas PM&R Practice
Arkansas's only physician-owned physical medicine practice in this directory is Arkansas Surgical Hospital - Physical Medicine & Pain in North Little Rock (5 physicians).
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 Arkansas 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
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.
NPI (National Provider Identifier)
A unique 10-digit number assigned to every U.S. healthcare provider and organization by CMS. Individual physicians receive a Type 1 NPI; practice entities receive a Type 2 NPI. The NPI is used across all payers for billing and credentialing.
Restrictive Covenant
Any contractual clause that limits a physician's professional activities after leaving an employer. Non-compete clauses are the most common restrictive covenant, but the category also includes non-solicitation clauses (prohibiting contact with former patients or staff) and non-disparagement clauses.
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.
