There are 24 physician-owned diagnostic radiology practices in Iowa, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
Before you accept a hospital offer in Iowa, see how many physician-owned diagnostic radiology groups already exist. The answer is 26, and it changes everything you can ask for in negotiation.
Years one through fifteen had structure. A curriculum. A rotation block. An attending who knew what came next and told you. You trusted the structure because the structure had never failed.
Once you can name three independent diagnostic radiology 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.
Hospital-employed, government-operated, and academic positions are excluded. These are not independent private practices:

Then you hit your last year of training and the structure ends. Someone wires you a stipend to come look at a hospital. Someone else sends an MSA with a non-compete you do not have time to read.
What this directory does is hand you the page you were missing. Every physician-owned diagnostic radiology group in Iowa, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.
This page lists 26 diagnostic radiology practices in Iowa 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 26 practices across 6 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.
Most physicians looking for diagnostic radiology opportunities in Iowa start with a recruiter or a job board. Both of those sources mix hospital-employed roles with genuine private practice opportunities, and they rarely disclose ownership structure upfront. This page does one thing differently: it filters for physician ownership using the federal NPPES registry. That's it. The result is 24 practices you can contact directly, without a middleman deciding what you're allowed to see.
Iowa's physician-owned diagnostic radiology directory lists 24 practice locations across 6 cities.
None of the diagnostic radiology practices listed in Iowa 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 Ames, Cedar Rapids, Chariton, Des Moines, Iowa City, and West Des Moines.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 24 physician-owned diagnostic radiology private practices in Iowa, 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.
Iowa's physician-owned diagnostic radiology practices include Iowa Radiology (Des Moines), Radiology Associates of Eastern Iowa (Cedar Rapids), and Quad Cities Radiology (Davenport).
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.
Under a W-2 arrangement, the radiology group withholds income taxes, pays half of FICA taxes, and typically provides benefits. Under a 1099 independent contractor arrangement, you pay self-employment tax (15.3% on earnings up to the FICA cap), fund your own benefits, and are responsible for quarterly estimated tax payments. The 1099 gross income is often higher to compensate, but confirm who pays malpractice coverage, as this is a major variable in your net income calculation.
