Independent Nephrology Groups in California
Most PGY-Final-Year physicians sign their first nephrology contract in California without knowing what else is out there. This directory shows the 495 groups they were never told about.
Years one through fifteen had structure. A curriculum. A rotation block. An attending who knew what came next and told you. You trusted the structure because the structure had never failed.
Most nephrology 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.

About this directory and the California nephrology market
The training years were structured. The first contract is not.
Then PGY-Final arrives. Suddenly there is no syllabus, no advisor telling you which clause to push back on, no upperclassman who has done this before. There is only a contract and a clock.
You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 495 nephrology groups in California, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
What other resources point to in California
This directory covers 217 independently operated nephrology practices in California. The data comes from two sources: the NPPES NPI Registry (the federal provider database maintained by CMS) and DataForSEO business listings for contact details and descriptions. I've excluded every practice that doesn't qualify as physician-owned. That means hospital-employed positions, academic roles, and corporate medical groups are filtered out. What remains is 495 practices across 78 cities.
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 nephrology practices in California 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.
The California nephrology market in detail
California's physician-owned nephrology directory lists 217 practice locations across 77 cities. The largest groups include Michael Fischman, MD (2 locations), Bikram Singh Sekhon, MD (2 locations), and mnko.co (2 locations).
None of the nephrology practices listed in California carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 77 cities including Apple Valley, Bakersfield, Beverly Hills, and Burbank.

Frequently asked questions about nephrology in California
How many Nephrology private practices are in California?
There are 217 physician-owned nephrology private practices in California, 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.
Dialysis Clinic Ownership in California Nephrology
California has 5 physician-owned nephrology practices across 5 cities. The larger groups include Pacific Nephrology Medical Group (Los Angeles), California Kidney Specialists (Pomona), and Bay Nephrology Medical Group (San Francisco).
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.
Is dialysis clinic ownership still possible for nephrologists in private practice in California?
Yes, but it is increasingly difficult. Roughly 80% of U.S. dialysis facilities are controlled by DaVita or Fresenius. Independent or joint-venture physician ownership still exists in California in some markets, particularly smaller communities where the national dialysis organizations have less penetration. CMS certification, ESRD Network participation, and CON requirements (if applicable in California) must all be navigated. Physician-owned dialysis revenue historically represented 30-50% of total nephrologist income in practice settings that had it.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
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.
Fair Market Value
The price at which a willing buyer and willing seller would agree to transact, with both parties having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. Physician compensation must meet fair market value to comply with federal anti-kickback and Stark Law requirements. Independent valuations are used for buy-in pricing, compensation benchmarking, and practice sales.
Collections-Based Compensation
A pay model in which a physician's income is tied directly to the revenue collected from their patient encounters. The physician typically receives a percentage of collections (40 to 55 percent is common) after overhead. This model rewards high-volume, high-acuity work but creates income variability.
Malpractice Insurance
Professional liability coverage that protects physicians against claims of medical negligence. Two main types exist: claims-made (covers claims only if both the incident and filing occur during the active policy) and occurrence-based (covers any incident during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is filed). Premium costs vary dramatically by specialty and state.
ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease)
Permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation. ESRD patients are automatically enrolled in Medicare regardless of age. Medicare reimburses dialysis at a bundled rate per treatment (approximately $240-$250 per session) under the ESRD Prospective Payment System.
CON (Certificate of Need)
A state regulatory requirement that healthcare providers obtain government approval before adding certain types of healthcare facilities or services. Not all states have CON programs; those that do may require CON approval for new dialysis facilities, affecting the feasibility of independent dialysis ownership.
