How much additional income does ASC ownership generate for ophthalmologists in California?

An ophthalmologist performing cataract surgery at a physician-owned ASC in California captures the facility fee (roughly $1,000-$2,500 per case under commercial insurance) in addition to the professional fee. A surgeon doing 300 cataract cases per year at a group-owned ASC with a 30% ownership share could receive $100,000-$200,000+ in additional annual ASC distributions, depending on the payer mix and overhead. Request 3 years of ASC financials before committing to any buy-in.

What entity type do Ophthalmology private practices in California use?

Most Ophthalmology private practices in California are structured as PC entities. The choice depends on state law, tax strategy, and liability preferences. A healthcare attorney can advise on the right structure.

What is a physician-owned Ophthalmology practice?

A physician-owned Ophthalmology practice is one where licensed physicians hold controlling ownership. This distinguishes it from hospital-employed positions, corporate medical groups, or practices backed by private equity, where non-physician entities own or control the business.

What does NPPES Verified mean?

NPPES stands for the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, a federal database maintained by CMS. Every practice in this directory has an active NPI (National Provider Identifier) record in NPPES, which confirms it is a registered medical practice in the United States.

What does the Corporate-Acquired or MSO-Affiliated flag mean?

The Corporate-Acquired flag indicates the practice was historically physician-owned but has since been acquired by a corporate entity such as Optum or UnitedHealth Group. The MSO-Affiliated flag indicates the practice participates in a Management Services Organization, which provides administrative infrastructure while physicians retain ownership at the practice level. These flags help physicians understand the ownership structure before reaching out.

How do I join a Ophthalmology private practice in California?

Start by contacting the practice directly using the website or phone number listed in this directory. Before negotiating any offer, have a physician contract attorney licensed in California review the employment agreement, particularly non-compete clauses, compensation structure, and buy-in terms for partnership-track positions.
