What entity type do Infectious Disease private practices in Florida use?

Most Infectious Disease private practices in Florida are structured as PC, PLLC 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 Infectious Disease practice?

A physician-owned Infectious Disease 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.

How do I join a Infectious Disease private practice in Florida?

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 Florida review the employment agreement, particularly non-compete clauses, compensation structure, and buy-in terms for partnership-track positions.

Physician-Owned Infectious Disease Practices in Florida

Q: 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.

About this directory and the Florida infectious disease market

You finished infectious disease. Now what?

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 infectious disease in Florida was never compiled. So we compiled it. 357 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 Florida

This page lists 357 infectious disease practices in Florida that are physician-owned and independently operated. Every listing comes from the NPPES NPI Registry, cross-referenced with DataForSEO business data for addresses, phone numbers, and websites. I've filtered out hospital systems, corporate medical groups, PE-backed entities, and academic positions. The result is 357 practices across 48 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.

The reason this matters is that job boards don't distinguish between an independent infectious disease practice and a corporate medical group. They list them side by side, identical formatting, identical apply buttons. But the compensation model, the call schedule, the equity path, and the long-term upside are completely different depending on who owns the practice. This page separates the two. You can work through the list, contact practices directly, and skip the recruiter entirely.

The Florida infectious disease market in detail

Florida's physician-owned infectious disease directory lists 256 practice locations across 48 cities.

Inpatient Consulting vs. Outpatient Models in Florida Infectious Disease Practice

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 Florida use?

Private ID practices in Florida 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

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.
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.
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.
