Vascular Surgery Private Practices in Indiana
102 vascular surgery groups in Indiana that physicians still own. No hospital systems, no private equity, no academic posts. Just the map nobody else built.
MCAT. STEPs. Match. ABIM. Each one was a milestone someone else designed. You hit them in order, on time, and the path kept going.
A physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned vascular surgery 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.

Frequently asked questions about vascular surgery in Indiana
How many Vascular Surgery private practices are in Indiana?
There are 62 physician-owned vascular surgery 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.
Vascular Lab Ownership for Private Practice Surgeons in Indiana
Indiana's physician-owned vascular surgery practices include CorVasc MD's (Indianapolis, 10 physicians), Lafayette Heart and Vascular - Vascular Surgery (Lafayette, 5 physicians), Tri-State Heart Specialists - Vascular Surgery (Evansville, 5 physicians), and Cardiology Associates...
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.
How does vascular lab ownership affect income for surgeons in private vascular practice in Indiana?
When a vascular surgery practice owns its vascular ultrasound equipment and employs its own vascular technologist, the practice bills and collects the technical component of duplex ultrasound studies (carotid, lower extremity arterial/venous, ABI, AAA) separately from the physician's interpretation. The technical component is typically 2-3x the interpretation fee. For a surgeon generating 10 studies per week, that adds substantial annual revenue over and above professional fee income. IAC accreditation (InterSocietal Accreditation Commission) is required by most payers for technical component billing of vascular ultrasound.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
PC (Professional Corporation)
A state-chartered corporation formed by licensed professionals. Physicians use PCs to own and operate their practices with liability separation. Many states require medical practices to be structured as PCs rather than standard LLCs or general partnerships.
PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company)
A hybrid entity combining LLC flexibility with professional licensing requirements. PLLCs are common for physician-owned practices in states that permit them. They offer pass-through taxation and personal liability protection for non-malpractice claims.
MSO (Management Services Organization)
A non-physician entity that provides administrative infrastructure (billing, coding, EHR support, payer contracting) to physician-owned practices. MSO arrangements let physicians retain clinical and practice ownership while outsourcing back-office operations. Private equity commonly uses MSO structures to influence practice operations without technically owning the medical entity.
NPI (National Provider Identifier)
A unique 10-digit number assigned to every U.S. healthcare provider and organization by CMS. Individual physicians receive a Type 1 NPI; practice entities receive a Type 2 NPI. The NPI is used across all payers for billing and credentialing.
Restrictive Covenant
Any contractual clause that limits a physician's professional activities after leaving an employer. Non-compete clauses are the most common restrictive covenant, but the category also includes non-solicitation clauses (prohibiting contact with former patients or staff) and non-disparagement clauses.
Vascular Ultrasound Technical Component
The portion of a duplex ultrasound billing code attributed to the equipment, technologist time, and overhead required to perform the scan. Billable separately from the physician's interpretation (professional component). When the physician practice owns the equipment and employs the technologist, the technical component revenue accrues to the practice.
Accreditation program for vascular testing laboratories that verifies staff credentials, equipment standards, and quality control. Most commercial payers and Medicare require IAC accreditation for full technical component reimbursement of vascular duplex ultrasound studies. Accreditation review typically takes 6-12 months.
