How many General Surgery private practices are in Massachusetts?

There are 503 physician-owned general surgery private practices in Massachusetts, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.

How does call schedule compare between private practice and hospital employment for surgeons in Massachusetts?

Private general surgery groups in Massachusetts typically share call equally among partners. With 4-6 partners, that often means 1 in 4 to 1 in 6 nights. Hospital-employed surgeons may have heavier call obligations with less schedule flexibility. The key variables are group size, whether NP/PA providers take first call, how emergency cases are compensated, and whether weekend trauma call is distributed separately from weeknight call.

What entity type do General Surgery private practices in Massachusetts use?

Most General Surgery private practices in Massachusetts are structured as PC, PLLC entities. The choice depends on state law, tax strategy, and liability preferences. A healthcare attorney can advise on the right structure.

What is a physician-owned General Surgery practice?

A physician-owned General Surgery practice is one where licensed physicians hold controlling ownership. This distinguishes it from hospital-employed positions, corporate medical groups, or practices backed by private equity, where non-physician entities own or control the business.

What does NPPES Verified mean?

NPPES stands for the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, a federal database maintained by CMS. Every practice in this directory has an active NPI (National Provider Identifier) record in NPPES, which confirms it is a registered medical practice in the United States.

What does the Corporate-Acquired or MSO-Affiliated flag mean?

The Corporate-Acquired flag indicates the practice was historically physician-owned but has since been acquired by a corporate entity such as Optum or UnitedHealth Group. The MSO-Affiliated flag indicates the practice participates in a Management Services Organization, which provides administrative infrastructure while physicians retain ownership at the practice level. These flags help physicians understand the ownership structure before reaching out.
