There are 39 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg practices in Indiana, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.

Independent practice. All of it.

Plastic & Reconstructive Surg Practice Directory: Indiana

Most PGY-Final-Year physicians sign their first plastic & reconstructive surg contract in Indiana without knowing what else is out there. This directory shows the 59 groups they were never told about.

MCAT. STEPs. Match. ABIM. Each one was a milestone someone else designed. You hit them in order, on time, and the path kept going.

Once you can name three independent plastic & reconstructive surg groups in your target city, every clause in your hospital contract becomes negotiable in a way it was not five minutes ago. The same non-compete, the same productivity formula, the same partnership track suddenly have something to be measured against. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the Indiana plastic & reconstructive surg market

Step 1. Step 2. Match. Boards. Then what?

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 plastic & reconstructive surg group in Indiana, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.

What other resources point to in Indiana

This page lists 59 plastic & reconstructive surg practices in Indiana 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 59 practices across 15 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.

If you're evaluating a move to private practice in Indiana, this is a starting point you won't find on a job board. Most boards mix employed positions with ownership opportunities, and they almost never tell you who actually owns the practice. Recruiters aren't much better. This page filters for physician ownership specifically, so you can focus on practices where clinical autonomy isn't just a talking point in an interview. It's built into the ownership structure.

The Indiana plastic & reconstructive surg market in detail

Indiana's physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg directory lists 39 practice locations across 14 cities. The largest group is Jason R. Cacioppo, MD (2 locations).

None of the plastic & reconstructive surg practices listed in Indiana carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.

Practices span 14 cities including Avon, Bloomington, Carmel, and Evansville.

Frequently asked questions about plastic & reconstructive surg in Indiana

How many Plastic & Reconstructive Surg private practices are in Indiana?

There are 39 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg private practices in Indiana, 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.

In-Office Surgical Suite Ownership in Indiana Plastic Surgery

Indiana has 5 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg practices across 5 cities. The larger groups include Indianapolis Plastic Surgery (Indianapolis), Renaissance Plastic Surgery (Carmel), and Northwest Indiana Plastic Surgery (Munster).

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.

Do plastic surgeons in Indiana need a licensed ASC to perform cosmetic procedures in an in-office suite?

It depends on the procedures and state regulations. In Indiana, in-office surgical suites performing procedures under general anesthesia or deep sedation typically require state licensure as an office-based surgical facility. Procedures under local anesthesia only (with or without oral sedation) may have lighter oversight requirements. CMS certification is required only if the facility bills Medicare, cash-pay cosmetic practices may not need Medicare certification. Confirm Indiana-specific office-based surgery facility requirements with a healthcare attorney before opening a surgical suite.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts

Non-Compete Clause
A contract provision that restricts a physician from practicing within a defined geographic area and time period after leaving an employer. Enforceability varies significantly by state. Some states cap the radius or duration; others allow broad enforcement. Courts in some states narrow overly broad clauses rather than voiding them entirely.
Tail Insurance (Extended Reporting Endorsement)
A malpractice coverage add-on that pays for claims filed after a claims-made policy ends, for incidents that occurred while the policy was active. Tail premiums typically run 1.5 to 2 times the annual malpractice premium and are paid as a one-time lump sum at departure. Occurrence-based policies do not require a tail.
RVU (Relative Value Unit)
A standardized measure of physician productivity used by Medicare and most commercial payers to determine reimbursement. Each CPT code carries a work RVU, practice expense RVU, and malpractice RVU. Many physician contracts tie compensation to RVU production thresholds, with bonuses above a defined baseline.
Compensation Formula
The contractual method used to calculate physician pay. Common models include guaranteed salary, eat-what-you-kill (collections-based), salary plus production bonus (RVU or collections above a threshold), and equal-share partnership distributions. The formula directly affects income stability, upside potential, and alignment with practice goals.
Partnership Buy-In
The purchase of an ownership stake in a physician practice entity, typically offered after an associate track of 2 to 5 years. The buy-in price is calculated using business valuation, a multiple of earnings, or a formula tied to practice receivables. True equity buy-ins include voting rights and profit distributions.
In-Office Surgical Suite
A procedure room or fully equipped operating room within a physician's office building used to perform surgeries under local or general anesthesia. Subject to state office-based surgery regulations and accreditation requirements (AAAHC, AAASF, or JCAHO). May not require CMS certification if exclusively serving cash-pay patients.
Cosmetic vs. Reconstructive Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is performed to improve appearance in a patient without a medical condition and is not covered by insurance, patients pay directly. Reconstructive surgery corrects defects caused by trauma, disease, or birth defect and is covered by insurance. The mix of cosmetic vs. reconstructive work in a practice determines its cash-pay revenue fraction.
