Then PGY-Final hits, and the page is blank. A recruiter calls. A contract lands in your inbox with a 50-mile non-compete, an opaque productivity model, and a signing bonus you do not understand the strings on.
Nobody is telling you what other hematology & oncology practices exist in South Dakota, what the contract really says, or which lawyer to call. The senior people in your program signed without reading because they had no guide either. This directory is the first page of the map.
I built this directory by starting with the NPPES NPI Registry, the federal database where every medical practice in the country has to register. From there, I filtered South Dakota's hematology & oncology listings down to practices that are genuinely physician-owned. That means no hospital-employed roles, no academic faculty positions, no corporate-acquired clinics. What you're looking at is 12 independent hematology & oncology practices across 1 cities in South Dakota.
What makes this useful is specificity. Instead of scrolling through a job board where hospital positions, locum postings, and real private practice opportunities all look the same, you get a focused list of physician-owned hematology & oncology practices in South Dakota. Every one has been verified through the federal NPI registry. Contact information and websites are included so you can start your research without a recruiter standing between you and the practice.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 10 physician-owned hematology & oncology private practices in South Dakota, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
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.
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.
South Dakota doesn't have physician-owned independent hematology & oncology practices in this directory. Most hematology & oncology positions are hospital-employed or part of larger health systems.
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.
In the buy-and-bill model, the oncology practice purchases chemotherapy drugs from a distributor (often through a Group Purchasing Organization for better pricing) and then bills payers for drug administration at the payer's contracted rate. Under Medicare Part B, reimbursement is typically at ASP (average sales price) + 6%. The spread between acquisition cost and reimbursement rate is the drug margin. Practices with favorable GPO contracts and a high commercial payer mix generate substantial drug margin revenue that does not exist in hospital-employed oncology.
