There are 20 physician-owned infectious disease practices in Kansas, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
A vetted list of 22 infectious disease practices in Kansas that are still owned by the physicians who built them. Useful when the recruiter says you have no other options.
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.
If a recruiter tells you the hospital is the only viable infectious disease employer within driving distance, you should be able to name five physician-owned groups that prove otherwise before the end of the call. This directory is how you get to five. 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 your final year starts and the path stops drawing itself. Recruiters start emailing. Contracts show up before you have asked anyone what a contract is supposed to look like.
You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 22 infectious disease groups in Kansas, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
There are 22 infectious disease practices in Kansas on this page, and every single one is physician-owned. I built the list from the NPPES NPI Registry, then layered on business data from DataForSEO for practice websites, phone numbers, and descriptions. Hospital-system practices, government clinics, academic positions, and corporate-acquired groups didn't make the cut. The listings cover 5 cities across Kansas.
The distinction between physician-owned and corporate-owned isn't just a label. It determines how a practice makes decisions about staffing, compensation, patient volume, and reinvestment. This directory exists because no other resource separates physician-owned infectious disease practices in Kansas from everything else. Every listing has an active NPI, is independently operated, and represents a real opportunity where a physician sets the clinical direction. Not an MBA. Not an investor. A doctor.
Kansas's physician-owned infectious disease directory lists 20 practice locations across 5 cities.
None of the infectious disease practices listed in Kansas 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 Kansas City, Leawood, Overland Park, Topeka, and Wichita.
Browsing 53,000+ practices is not the work. Translating that into a contract you understand and a lawyer who will read it with you is the work. Here is how.

“You are not lost. You were never given the next page.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 20 physician-owned infectious disease private practices in Kansas, 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.
Kansas doesn't have physician-owned independent infectious disease practices in this directory. Most infectious disease positions are hospital-employed or part of larger health systems.
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.
Private ID practices in Kansas with strong outpatient models often combine: HIV primary care (with Ryan White Title III grant funding where applicable, which supports the practice financially for uninsured patients), travel medicine (yellow fever vaccination, malaria prophylaxis, pre-travel consultations, largely cash-pay), and outpatient antibiotic infusion therapy (OPAT) for patients completing IV antibiotic courses at home or in the office. These outpatient revenue streams reduce dependence on hospital inpatient admissions volume.
