Independent practice. All of it.
Physician-Owned Pulmonary Disease Groups in Arkansas
59 independent pulmonary disease practices across Arkansas, cross-referenced against NPPES, state medical boards, and each practice's own website. Negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.
You spent 15 years on a path where the next move was always obvious. Someone handed you a syllabus, an algorithm, a board study schedule, a rotation block. You executed.
A physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned pulmonary disease groups within 50 miles walks into a contract negotiation with completely different leverage than one who assumes the hospital is the only option. Non-compete radius, buy-in terms, tail coverage, all of it becomes more negotiable once you actually know what is around you. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the Arkansas pulmonary disease market
Step 1. Step 2. Match. Boards. Then what?
Then graduation approaches and the algorithm stops. A recruiter calls. The contract has a productivity formula you cannot solve for, a non-compete you cannot evaluate, and a tail-coverage clause nobody explained.
You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 59 pulmonary disease groups in Arkansas, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
What other resources point to in Arkansas
This page lists 59 pulmonary disease 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 59 practices across 11 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 Arkansas, this gives you a filtered starting point that actually tells you who owns what.

Frequently asked questions about pulmonary disease in Arkansas
How many Pulmonary Disease private practices are in Arkansas?
There are 44 physician-owned pulmonary disease 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.
Pulmonary Function Lab Ownership in Arkansas Pulmonology
Arkansas's physician-owned pulmonary disease practices include Arkansas Pulmonary & Sleep Specialists (Little Rock) and Northwest Arkansas Pulmonary Clinic (Fayetteville).
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 does pulmonary function lab ownership affect compensation in private pulmonology practices in Arkansas?
When a pulmonology practice owns its PFT equipment and employs its own respiratory therapist to perform testing, the practice bills and collects the technical component of PFT studies (spirometry, DLCO, plethysmography) separately from the physician's interpretation fee. This technical component revenue, which would otherwise go to a hospital if testing were referred out, can add $100,000-$300,000+ annually to a high-volume pulmonology practice's revenue. Ask for the annual PFT testing volume and what portion of technical component revenue is distributed to physician-owners.

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.
Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)
A battery of breathing tests that measure lung volumes, airflow, and gas exchange. Includes spirometry (CPT 94010), diffusion capacity/DLCO (CPT 94729), and plethysmography (CPT 94726). Each test has separate professional (physician interpretation) and technical (equipment, technician) billing components.
DLCO (Diffusion Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide)
A pulmonary function test measuring the efficiency of gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary membrane. Reduced in interstitial lung disease, emphysema, and pulmonary vascular disease. Billed separately from spirometry with both professional and technical components.
