How many Otolaryngology private practices are in Illinois?

Can ENT private practices in Illinois dispense hearing aids, and how is that revenue structured?

Yes. ENT practices that employ licensed audiologists can dispense hearing aids directly to patients. In Illinois, hearing aid dispensing requires either an audiologist holding an appropriate state license, or a hearing instrument specialist license. Most commercial insurers do not cover hearing aids, so revenue is collected directly from patients at time of fitting. Revenue distribution varies by practice, some allocate audiology revenue to the responsible audiologist's physician partner; others pool it as general practice overhead. This is worth clarifying before joining.

What entity type do Otolaryngology private practices in Illinois use?

Most Otolaryngology private practices in Illinois 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 Otolaryngology practice?

A physician-owned Otolaryngology 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.

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.

How do I join a Otolaryngology private practice in Illinois?

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