About this directory and the Kansas neurological surgery market
For 15 years you had a map. Then the map ran out.
Then PGY-Final arrives. Suddenly there is no syllabus, no advisor telling you which clause to push back on, no upperclassman who has done this before. There is only a contract and a clock.
The senior residents signed their first contracts without reading every clause. Not because they did not care, but because nobody had handed them a map of what else existed. So they took the first offer. This directory exists so you do not have to.
What other resources point to in Kansas
There are 49 physician-owned neurological surgery practices in Kansas, spread across 4 cities. I pulled every one of them from the NPPES NPI Registry, which is the federal database that CMS maintains for active providers. Then I filtered out anything that isn't independently operated. Hospital-employed positions, academic faculty roles, locum agencies, government clinics, they're all excluded. What's left is a clean list of practices where physicians hold actual ownership and make their own clinical decisions.
You won't find this list anywhere else. National job boards aggregate whatever employers pay to post, regardless of ownership structure. This directory starts from the federal NPPES database and filters down to practices where physicians own the entity. That distinction matters because it determines everything: how you're compensated, how decisions get made, whether you'll ever have a real equity stake. Use it to identify practices worth reaching out to directly.

Frequently asked questions about neurological surgery in Kansas
How many Neurological Surgery private practices are in Kansas?
There are 35 physician-owned neurological surgery private practices in Kansas, 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.
Private Practice Viability for Neurosurgeons in Kansas
Kansas's only physician-owned neurological surgery practice in this directory is Kansas City Bone and Joint Clinic - Neurosurgery in Overland Park.
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.
Is neurosurgery private practice financially viable in Kansas?
Yes, in markets with sufficient case volume and favorable payer mix. Neurosurgery private practice requires a group of sufficient size to share call and operating costs, direct commercial payer contracts above Medicare rates, and ideally ASC or spine surgery center ownership to capture facility fees. Malpractice premiums in neurosurgery are among the highest in medicine ($100,000-$300,000+ annually), confirm whether the practice covers this cost or whether it is deducted from physician compensation before evaluating the net income.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
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.
Without-Cause Termination
A contract clause that allows either party to end the employment agreement without stating a reason, typically with 60 to 120 days written notice. The notice period, post-termination obligations (non-compete activation, tail insurance responsibility), and severance terms are negotiable. Shorter notice periods favor the employer.
Call Coverage
The obligation to provide after-hours or weekend coverage for patient emergencies. Contracts should specify call frequency (1 in 4, 1 in 6, etc.), whether call is compensated separately, and whether the physician takes call from home or in-house. Unrestricted call obligations are a common source of physician burnout.
Neurosurgery Malpractice Premium
Malpractice insurance premiums for neurosurgeons are among the highest in medicine due to the severity of potential adverse outcomes. Annual premiums typically range from $100,000 to $300,000+ depending on state, subspecialty focus, and claims history. Spine surgery carries higher premiums than cranial surgery in most states.
Spine Surgery ASC
An ambulatory surgery center specializing in spine procedures (microdiscectomy, laminectomy, fusion). Physician ownership of a spine ASC generates facility fees for procedures that would otherwise generate facility revenue for the hospital. Among the highest-revenue ASC types when case mix includes commercial payers.
