Every group physicians still own.

Physician-Owned Vascular Surgery Practices in Colorado

Before you accept a hospital offer in Colorado, see how many physician-owned vascular surgery groups already exist. The answer is 66, and it changes everything you can ask for in negotiation.

Every year of training came with a script. Apply, interview, rotate, take the exam, advance. The next thing to do was never in question.

If a recruiter tells you the hospital is the only viable vascular surgery 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 Colorado vascular surgery market

Match Day was the last page someone handed you.

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.

The map of independent vascular surgery in Colorado was never compiled. So we compiled it. 66 practices, all physician-owned, all in one place. Now you can see what is around you before you sign into one corner of it.

What other resources point to in Colorado

Here's what this page is: 66 vascular surgery practices in Colorado that are physician-owned. Not hospital jobs. Not corporate medical groups. Not locum postings. Every listing was pulled from the federal NPPES database and verified for active NPI status. I've supplemented each one with contact info, websites, and Google Maps links from DataForSEO. The practices span 14 cities across the state.

I made this because the information doesn't exist in one place anywhere else. If you're a vascular surgery physician thinking about Colorado, you'd normally have to search job boards, call recruiters, and piece together which practices are actually physician-owned versus corporate-backed. This page does that work for you. 42 practices, 14 cities, all verified through the NPPES NPI Registry. Contact them directly.

The Colorado vascular surgery market in detail

Colorado's physician-owned vascular surgery directory lists 42 practice locations across 13 cities. The largest groups are Vascular Institute of the Rockies (2 locations) and Albert Vein Institute (2 locations).

Practices span 13 cities including Aurora, Centennial, Colorado Springs, and Denver.

Frequently asked questions about vascular surgery in Colorado

How many Vascular Surgery private practices are in Colorado?

There are 42 physician-owned vascular surgery private practices in Colorado, 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.

Vascular Lab Ownership for Private Practice Surgeons in Colorado

Colorado's physician-owned vascular surgery practices include South Denver Cardiology Associates (Vascular Surgery) (Denver, 30 physicians), Colorado Heart and Vascular (Vascular Surgery) (Lakewood, 20 physicians), Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates (Vascular Surgery) (Denver, 2...

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 vascular lab ownership affect income for surgeons in private vascular practice in Colorado?

When a vascular surgery practice owns its vascular ultrasound equipment and employs its own vascular technologist, the practice bills and collects the technical component of duplex ultrasound studies (carotid, lower extremity arterial/venous, ABI, AAA) separately from the physician's interpretation. The technical component is typically 2-3x the interpretation fee. For a surgeon generating 10 studies per week, that adds substantial annual revenue over and above professional fee income. IAC accreditation (InterSocietal Accreditation Commission) is required by most payers for technical component billing of vascular ultrasound.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts

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.
Ancillary Revenue
Income generated by a medical practice from services beyond physician office visits. Common sources include in-office imaging, laboratory testing, physical therapy, infusion services, and dispensing. Ancillary revenue can account for 20 to 40 percent of total practice revenue in procedure-heavy specialties.
NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System)
The federal registry maintained by CMS that assigns and tracks NPIs for all U.S. healthcare providers. NPPES data is publicly searchable and includes provider name, practice address, taxonomy codes, and enumeration date.
Restrictive Covenant Buyout
A contractual provision that allows a departing physician to pay a defined sum to eliminate or reduce a non-compete restriction. Some states, including Texas, require physician non-competes to include a buyout option at fair market value. Many states do not mandate this, making it a negotiable term.
Vascular Ultrasound Technical Component
The portion of a duplex ultrasound billing code attributed to the equipment, technologist time, and overhead required to perform the scan. Billable separately from the physician's interpretation (professional component). When the physician practice owns the equipment and employs the technologist, the technical component revenue accrues to the practice.
IAC Accreditation (InterSocietal Accreditation Commission)
Accreditation program for vascular testing laboratories that verifies staff credentials, equipment standards, and quality control. Most commercial payers and Medicare require IAC accreditation for full technical component reimbursement of vascular duplex ultrasound studies. Accreditation review typically takes 6-12 months.
