About this directory and the Montana infectious disease market

For 15 years you had a map. Then the map ran out.

Then graduation approaches and the algorithm stops. A recruiter calls. The contract has a productivity formula you cannot solve for, a non-compete you cannot evaluate, and a tail-coverage clause nobody explained.

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 Montana

Here's what this page is: 8 infectious disease practices in Montana that are physician-owned. Not hospital jobs. Not corporate medical groups. Not locum postings. Every listing was pulled from the federal NPPES database and verified for active NPI status. I've supplemented each one with contact info, websites, and Google Maps links from DataForSEO. The practices span 2 cities across the state.

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 infectious disease in Montana

How many Infectious Disease private practices are in Montana?

There are 6 physician-owned infectious disease private practices in Montana, 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.

Inpatient Consulting vs. Outpatient Models in Montana Infectious Disease Practice

Montana doesn't have physician-owned independent infectious disease practices in this directory. Most infectious 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.

What outpatient revenue sources do private infectious disease practices in Montana use?

Private ID practices in Montana with strong outpatient models often combine: HIV primary care (with Ryan White Title III grant funding where applicable, which supports the practice financially for uninsured patients), travel medicine (yellow fever vaccination, malaria prophylaxis, pre-travel consultations, largely cash-pay), and outpatient antibiotic infusion therapy (OPAT) for patients completing IV antibiotic courses at home or in the office. These outpatient revenue streams reduce dependence on hospital inpatient admissions volume.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts

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.
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.
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
A federal program providing funding to states, metropolitan areas, and clinics to provide care and treatment for low-income people living with HIV who lack adequate health coverage. Ryan White-funded clinics can receive grants that support clinical operations serving uninsured or underinsured HIV patients.
OPAT (Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy)
Administration of intravenous antibiotics in an outpatient setting (home, infusion center, or physician office) for infections requiring prolonged IV treatment. OPAT services billed by the managing ID physician generate professional fee revenue; if the practice provides the infusion facility, additional facility fees may apply.
