Nephrology Private Practices in Colorado
These are physician-owned nephrology practices in Colorado, not hospital jobs.
Every listing was pulled from the NPPES NPI Registry.
Most are structured as PC, PLLC entities.
You're looking at 45 physician-owned nephrology practices in Colorado. I sourced all of them from the NPPES NPI Registry and filtered out everything that doesn't meet the standard of independent physician ownership. Hospital systems, academic centers, staffing agencies, and corporate-acquired practices are not on this list. Each entry includes the practice address, phone, website, and NPI number. The coverage spans 14 cities statewide.
Most physicians looking for nephrology opportunities in Colorado start with a recruiter or a job board. Both of those sources mix hospital-employed roles with genuine private practice opportunities, and they rarely disclose ownership structure upfront. This page does one thing differently: it filters for physician ownership using the federal NPPES registry. That's it. The result is 45 practices you can contact directly, without a middleman deciding what you're allowed to see.
Colorado's physician-owned nephrology directory lists 45 practice locations across 14 cities. The largest group is Western Nephrology (5 locations).
None of the nephrology practices listed in Colorado carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 14 cities including Arvada, Aurora, Colorado Springs, and Denver.

How many Nephrology private practices are in Colorado?
This directory lists 45 physician-owned Nephrology private practices in Colorado, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All listed practices are independently operated. Hospital-employed 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 Colorado Nephrology
Colorado has 16 physician-owned nephrology practices across 13 cities. The larger groups include Western Nephrology - Arvada (Arvada), Western Nephrology - Lakewood (Lakewood), and Western Nephrology - Longmont (Longmont).
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 Colorado?
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 Colorado 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 Colorado) 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
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.
Credentialing
The process by which hospitals and insurance companies verify a physician's education, training, board certification, licensure, and malpractice history before granting privileges or network participation. Credentialing typically takes 60 to 120 days and must be completed before a physician can bill patients under a new practice or facility.
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.
