Infectious Disease Private Practices in District of Columbia

A vetted list of 3 infectious disease practices in District of Columbia that are still owned by the physicians who built them. Useful when the recruiter says you have no other options.

For 15 years the path was visible. Pre-clinical, clinical, sub-I, Match, intern year, residency, fellowship. Every transition had a name and a date.

A hospital recruiter's quiet superpower is that you do not know what else is around. They are counting on you not knowing. This directory takes that superpower away. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the District of Columbia infectious disease market

PGY-Final-Year is the first time the path is not drawn for you.

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.

What this directory does is hand you the page you were missing. Every physician-owned infectious disease group in District of Columbia, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.

What other resources point to in District of Columbia

Here's what this page is: 3 infectious disease practices in District of Columbia 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 1 cities across the state.

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 infectious disease practices in District of Columbia 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.

Frequently asked questions about infectious disease in District of Columbia

How many Infectious Disease private practices are in District of Columbia?

There are 2 physician-owned infectious disease private practices in District of Columbia, 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.

Inpatient Consulting vs. Outpatient Models in District of Columbia Infectious Disease Practice

District of Columbia doesn't have physician-owned independent infectious disease practices in this directory. Infectious disease care here runs through Howard University Hospital and other hospital systems.

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.

What outpatient revenue sources do private infectious disease practices in District of Columbia use?

Private ID practices in District of Columbia with strong outpatient models often combine: HIV primary care (with Ryan White Title III grant funding where applicable, which supports the practice financially for uninsured patients), travel medicine (yellow fever vaccination, malaria prophylaxis, pre-travel consultations, largely cash-pay), and outpatient antibiotic infusion therapy (OPAT) for patients completing IV antibiotic courses at home or in the office. These outpatient revenue streams reduce dependence on hospital inpatient admissions volume.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts

MSO (Management Services Organization)
A non-physician entity that provides administrative infrastructure (billing, coding, EHR support, payer contracting) to physician-owned practices. MSO arrangements let physicians retain clinical and practice ownership while outsourcing back-office operations. Private equity commonly uses MSO structures to influence practice operations without technically owning the medical entity.
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.
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
A federal program providing funding to states, metropolitan areas, and clinics to provide care and treatment for low-income people living with HIV who lack adequate health coverage. Ryan White-funded clinics can receive grants that support clinical operations serving uninsured or underinsured HIV patients.
OPAT (Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy)
Administration of intravenous antibiotics in an outpatient setting (home, infusion center, or physician office) for infections requiring prolonged IV treatment. OPAT services billed by the managing ID physician generate professional fee revenue; if the practice provides the infusion facility, additional facility fees may apply.
