About this directory and the Maine pulmonary disease market
PGY-Final-Year is the first time the path is not drawn for you.
Then training ends and the page goes blank. The first contract lands in your inbox with terms you have never seen, written by people who do this for a living against someone who has done it exactly never.
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 Maine
This page lists 18 pulmonary disease practices in Maine 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 18 practices across 5 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.
Here's why I built this. When I was looking at private practice opportunities, I couldn't find a single resource that separated physician-owned practices from everything else. Job boards don't do it. Recruiter databases don't do it. So I built it from the NPPES registry. Whether you're finishing training, thinking about a lateral move, or exploring partnership-track positions in Maine, this gives you a filtered starting point that actually tells you who owns what.

Frequently asked questions about pulmonary disease in Maine
How many Pulmonary Disease private practices are in Maine?
There are 16 physician-owned pulmonary disease private practices in Maine, 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.
Pulmonary Function Lab Ownership in Maine Pulmonology
Maine doesn't have physician-owned independent pulmonary disease practices in this directory. Most pulmonary disease 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.
How does pulmonary function lab ownership affect compensation in private pulmonology practices in Maine?
When a pulmonology practice owns its PFT equipment and employs its own respiratory therapist to perform testing, the practice bills and collects the technical component of PFT studies (spirometry, DLCO, plethysmography) separately from the physician's interpretation fee. This technical component revenue, which would otherwise go to a hospital if testing were referred out, can add $100,000-$300,000+ annually to a high-volume pulmonology practice's revenue. Ask for the annual PFT testing volume and what portion of technical component revenue is distributed to physician-owners.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
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.
Fair Market Value
The price at which a willing buyer and willing seller would agree to transact, with both parties having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. Physician compensation must meet fair market value to comply with federal anti-kickback and Stark Law requirements. Independent valuations are used for buy-in pricing, compensation benchmarking, and practice sales.
Collections-Based Compensation
A pay model in which a physician's income is tied directly to the revenue collected from their patient encounters. The physician typically receives a percentage of collections (40 to 55 percent is common) after overhead. This model rewards high-volume, high-acuity work but creates income variability.
Malpractice Insurance
Professional liability coverage that protects physicians against claims of medical negligence. Two main types exist: claims-made (covers claims only if both the incident and filing occur during the active policy) and occurrence-based (covers any incident during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is filed). Premium costs vary dramatically by specialty and state.
Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)
A battery of breathing tests that measure lung volumes, airflow, and gas exchange. Includes spirometry (CPT 94010), diffusion capacity/DLCO (CPT 94729), and plethysmography (CPT 94726). Each test has separate professional (physician interpretation) and technical (equipment, technician) billing components.
DLCO (Diffusion Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide)
A pulmonary function test measuring the efficiency of gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary membrane. Reduced in interstitial lung disease, emphysema, and pulmonary vascular disease. Billed separately from spirometry with both professional and technical components.
