About this directory and the New Mexico cardiovascular disease market
You finished cardiovascular disease. Now what?
Then you hit your last year of training and the structure ends. Someone wires you a stipend to come look at a hospital. Someone else sends an MSA with a non-compete you do not have time to read.
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 New Mexico
There are 86 physician-owned cardiovascular disease practices in New Mexico, spread across 4 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.
If you're evaluating a move to private practice in New Mexico, this is a starting point you won't find on a job board. Most boards mix employed positions with ownership opportunities, and they almost never tell you who actually owns the practice. Recruiters aren't much better. This page filters for physician ownership specifically, so you can focus on practices where clinical autonomy isn't just a talking point in an interview. It's built into the ownership structure.
The New Mexico cardiovascular disease market in detail
New Mexico's physician-owned cardiovascular disease directory lists 66 practice locations across 4 cities. The largest groups are Dr Daniel Friedman, MD | Cardiologist (2 locations) and Dr Lawrence Nair, MD | Electrophysiology Cardiologist (2 locations).
None of the cardiovascular disease practices listed in New Mexico carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices are located in Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe.

Frequently asked questions about cardiovascular disease in New Mexico
How many Cardiovascular Disease private practices are in New Mexico?
There are 66 physician-owned cardiovascular disease private practices in New Mexico, 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.
Partnership and Buy-In in New Mexico Cardiology Groups
New Mexico's only physician-owned cardiovascular disease practice in this directory is New Mexico Heart Institute in Albuquerque (30 physicians).
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 does partnership buy-in mean for a cardiologist joining a private practice in New Mexico?
Buy-in refers to the purchase of an ownership stake in the practice entity after completing an associate track (typically 3-5 years). The buy-in price is usually calculated as a multiple of earnings or a formal valuation. In cardiology, buy-in amounts vary widely based on practice size and ancillary ownership. Confirm whether partnership grants true equity (voting, distributions) or only economic participation. Have a healthcare attorney review the buy-in agreement before committing.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
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.
Ancillary Revenue
Income generated by a medical practice from services beyond physician office visits. Common sources include in-office imaging, laboratory testing, physical therapy, infusion services, and dispensing. Ancillary revenue can account for 20 to 40 percent of total practice revenue in procedure-heavy specialties.
NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System)
The federal registry maintained by CMS that assigns and tracks NPIs for all U.S. healthcare providers. NPPES data is publicly searchable and includes provider name, practice address, taxonomy codes, and enumeration date.
Restrictive Covenant Buyout
A contractual provision that allows a departing physician to pay a defined sum to eliminate or reduce a non-compete restriction. Some states, including Texas, require physician non-competes to include a buyout option at fair market value. Many states do not mandate this, making it a negotiable term.
Partnership Track
A defined period, typically 2-5 years, during which a physician works as an associate before becoming eligible to purchase an ownership stake in the practice. Terms, buy-in price, and partnership rights vary by group. Not all partnership tracks lead to true equity.
Ancillary Services
Revenue-generating services provided by a physician practice beyond the physician's professional fee, such as imaging, laboratory testing, infusion centers, or ambulatory surgery centers. Physician ownership of ancillary services is subject to Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute compliance.
