Neurological Surgery Practice Directory: Mississippi

42 neurological surgery groups in Mississippi that physicians still own. No hospital systems, no private equity, no academic posts. Just the map nobody else built.

Pre-med. Med school. Match. Step 1. Step 2. Boards. Every year there was a next page, and someone always handed it to you.

A physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned neurological surgery groups within 50 miles walks into a contract negotiation with completely different leverage than one who assumes the hospital is the only option. Non-compete radius, buy-in terms, tail coverage, all of it becomes more negotiable once you actually know what is around you. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the Mississippi neurological surgery market

You finished neurological surgery. Now what?

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. 42 neurological surgery groups in Mississippi, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.

What other resources point to in Mississippi

There are 42 physician-owned neurological surgery practices in Mississippi, spread across 6 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.

Most physicians looking for neurological surgery opportunities in Mississippi start with a recruiter or a job board. Both of those sources mix hospital-employed roles with genuine private practice opportunities, and they rarely disclose ownership structure upfront. This page does one thing differently: it filters for physician ownership using the federal NPPES registry. That's it. The result is 32 practices you can contact directly, without a middleman deciding what you're allowed to see.

Frequently asked questions about neurological surgery in Mississippi

How many Neurological Surgery private practices are in Mississippi?

There are 32 physician-owned neurological surgery private practices in Mississippi, 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 Mississippi

Mississippi's physician-owned neurological surgery practices include Hattiesburg Clinic - Neurosurgery (Hattiesburg) and Mississippi Spine and Brain Institute (Jackson).

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 Mississippi?

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

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.
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.
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.
