How does pulmonary function lab ownership affect compensation in private pulmonology practices in Illinois?

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.

What entity type do Pulmonary Disease private practices in Illinois use?

Most Pulmonary Disease 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 Pulmonary Disease practice?

A physician-owned Pulmonary 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.

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.
