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 physical medicine 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 Louisiana physical medicine market
PGY-Final-Year is the first time the path is not drawn for you.
Then PGY-Final hits, and the page is blank. A recruiter calls. A contract lands in your inbox with a 50-mile non-compete, an opaque productivity model, and a signing bonus you do not understand the strings on.
Before you compare salary numbers, see how many physician-owned groups actually exist in your specialty and state. Then negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.
What other resources point to in Louisiana
There are 63 physical medicine practices in Louisiana 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 12 cities across Louisiana.
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 physical medicine in Louisiana
How many Physical Medicine private practices are in Louisiana?
There are 36 physician-owned physical medicine private practices in Louisiana, 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.
Ancillary Services and Facility Ownership in Louisiana PM&R Practice
Louisiana doesn't have physician-owned independent physical medicine practices in this directory. Most physical medicine positions are hospital-employed or part of larger health systems.
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.
Can PM&R physicians in Louisiana own physical therapy practices where they refer patients?
Generally no. The Physician Self-Referral Law (Stark Law) prohibits physicians from referring Medicare patients to physical therapy or occupational therapy facilities in which the physician has a financial interest, unless a specific statutory exception applies. The in-office ancillary services exception may apply in limited circumstances if the PT services are directly supervised and provided in the same office where the physician practices. Consult a healthcare attorney before any PM&R practice acquires or refers to a PT facility with physician ownership.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
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.
Credentialing
The process by which hospitals and insurance companies verify a physician's education, training, board certification, licensure, and malpractice history before granting privileges or network participation. Credentialing typically takes 60 to 120 days and must be completed before a physician can bill patients under a new practice or facility.
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.
Electrodiagnostic tests that assess the electrical activity of muscles (EMG) and the speed of signal transmission along nerves (NCS). Common in PM&R and neurology practices for diagnosing neuropathy, radiculopathy, and myopathy. When performed in a physician-owned EMG lab, both professional and technical components are billed.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
A minimally invasive pain management procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to disrupt nerve conduction and reduce chronic pain, commonly used for facet joint pain in the spine. When performed in a physician-owned procedure suite, the practice bills a facility fee in addition to the physician's professional fee.
