There are 6 physician-owned pulmonary disease practices in Idaho, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
7 independent pulmonary disease practices across Idaho, cross-referenced against NPPES, state medical boards, and each practice's own website. Negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.
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 physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned pulmonary disease groups within 50 miles walks into a contract negotiation with completely different leverage than one who assumes the hospital is the only option. Non-compete radius, buy-in terms, tail coverage, all of it becomes more negotiable once you actually know what is around you. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.
Hospital-employed, government-operated, and academic positions are excluded. These are not independent private practices:

Then your final year starts and the path stops drawing itself. Recruiters start emailing. Contracts show up before you have asked anyone what a contract is supposed to look like.
Nobody is telling you what other pulmonary disease practices exist in Idaho, what the contract really says, or which lawyer to call. The senior people in your program signed without reading because they had no guide either. This directory is the first page of the map.
This page lists 7 pulmonary disease practices in Idaho 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 7 practices across 4 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.
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 pulmonary disease practices in Idaho 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.
Idaho's physician-owned pulmonary disease directory lists 6 practice locations across 4 cities.
None of the pulmonary disease practices listed in Idaho carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices are located in Blackfoot, Boise, Idaho Falls, and Meridian.
Browsing 53,000+ practices is not the work. Translating that into a contract you understand and a lawyer who will read it with you is the work. Here is how.

“You spent fifteen years on a map. Then someone took it away.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 6 physician-owned pulmonary disease private practices in Idaho, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
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.
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.
Idaho doesn't have physician-owned independent pulmonary disease practices in this directory. Most pulmonary disease positions are hospital-employed or part of larger health systems.
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.
When a pulmonology practice owns its PFT equipment and employs its own respiratory therapist to perform testing, the practice bills and collects the technical component of PFT studies (spirometry, DLCO, plethysmography) separately from the physician's interpretation fee. This technical component revenue, which would otherwise go to a hospital if testing were referred out, can add $100,000-$300,000+ annually to a high-volume pulmonology practice's revenue. Ask for the annual PFT testing volume and what portion of technical component revenue is distributed to physician-owners.
