Verum identifies the actual owners of medical practices by combining NPI data, state medical board records, corporate filings, and Medicare enrollment information. We separate the owner-physicians from the employed providers and find direct contact info that gets past the office staff.
The Problem
Medical practice ownership is increasingly complex. Hospital systems have acquired thousands of formerly independent practices. PE-backed management companies operate under the practice's original name. And even in genuinely independent practices, the NPI database lists every provider at the address without indicating who owns the business.
How We Identify Medical Practice Owners
- NPI Type 2 (organizational) analysis. Organizational NPI records list authorized officials and delegated officials, giving us a starting point for ownership identification at each practice.
- State medical board cross-referencing. Active license records and practice registrations help us confirm which physicians are practice owners versus employed or contracted providers.
- Corporate filing analysis. Secretary of State records reveal the ownership structure behind the practice name: sole proprietorship, professional corporation, or management company.
- Medicare reassignment tracking. CMS reassignment data shows which physicians have reassigned their billing to which organizations, revealing employment versus ownership relationships.
- PE and health system affiliation detection. We flag practices that have been acquired by hospital systems, PE-backed groups, or management companies, identifying the actual decision-maker at each.
What Your Medical Practice Owner List Includes
- Owner-physician name and credentials. MD/DO designation, board certifications, specialty, and years in practice based on license issue dates.
- Ownership verification. Confirmed independent owner, partner, or employed by a larger entity. If acquired, we identify the parent organization.
- Direct contact information. Verified personal email and direct phone number for the owner, not the practice's patient line.
- Practice details. Specialty, provider count, location(s), and NPI numbers for the practice and individual owner.
- Billing and payer information. Medicare enrollment status, group vs. solo practice designation, and accepting new patients status where available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you tell the difference between a practice owner and an employed physician?
We cross-reference NPI organizational records (which list authorized officials) with state corporate filings (which list LLC/PC members and officers) and Medicare reassignment data (which shows billing relationships). An employed physician bills through the practice but isn't on the corporate documents as an owner or officer.
Can you filter for independently owned practices only?
Yes. We flag practices that are hospital-owned, PE-backed, or part of a management company. If you only want to reach independent practice owners who make their own vendor decisions, we filter out all the affiliated practices.
What medical specialties can you find practice owners for?
All of them. NPI taxonomy codes cover every medical specialty: primary care, cardiology, orthopedics, dermatology, OB/GYN, psychiatry, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, and dozens more. We can build lists for any specialty or combination of specialties.
