The best states in the US for practicing medicine can be
determined by taking a holistic view of the state of health
care in that particular area and comparing it with other
places. Some states are surprisingly physician-friendly
while some may not be very suitable for physicians in
certain specialties. The ranking can be based on factors
such as the availability of physicians, disciplinary actions
against physicians, the premiums paid for medical liability
coverage, cost of living index, and state income taxes
among many other factors linked to the cost of
administration.
Texas
Texas is one of the better states for general surgeons and
internal medicine because of the low liability insurance
premiums for these specialties. A low cost of living index
and low state income tax rates make it one of the top
states for physicians to practice medicine. The high
percentage of uninsured in this largest state would create a
need for health care providers in the future which could be
much larger compared to any other state in the country.
Moreover, there is no shortage of medical billers and
coders in Texas and this makes administrative processes
frugal and efficient at the same time.
California
California is the best state as far as physiciansโ€™ salary is
concerned and is also favorable in terms of Geographic
Practice Cost Indices or GPCI. Another feature that is in
favor of physicians in this golden state is the comparative
lack of competition in the state in many areas coupled with
low medical liability premiums.
Alabama
Alabama is one of the states where competition is thin for
physicians and almost 20% of the people in the age group
19-64 are without health insurance. In face of health
reforms, these would be entitled to insurance and the
number of patient-doctor encounters would also increase.
The cost of living index is lower in Alabama compared to
many other states in the US. Furthermore, fewer disciplinary
actions by the medical board in Alabama in comparison to
other states make it a place that is lucrative and suitable for
physicians.
South Dakota
South Dakota is also one of the states which are ideal for
physicians and health care providers due to zero state
income taxes and zero liability insurance premiums.
Moreover, South Dakota also has a low cost of living index
and a comparative scarcity of physicians, making it
financially beneficial to provide health care services here.
South Dakota is one of the states with a very high density of
medical billers and coders making it apt for physicians and
health care providers from the point of view of
administrative and medical billing and coding support.
Tennessee
Tennessee is one of the states that are physician-friendly
mostly because of zero state income taxes, a higher pay
scale compared to numerous other states, a low number of
disciplinary actions, and a low cost of living index.
Moreover, the easy availability of medical billers and coders
in Tennessee makes it ideal for cutting costs as far as the
administrative processes related to practicing medicine are
concerned.
Although many other states also have positives for
physicians but these five states are among the best
because all or most of the factors such as cost of living,
remuneration, liability insurance premiums, number of
disciplinary actions against physicians, state income taxes,
GPCI, and number of health providers in the state are in
favor of health care providers.

The top 5 states for physicians to practice

  • 1.
  • 2. The best states in the US for practicing medicine can be determined by taking a holistic view of the state of health care in that particular area and comparing it with other places. Some states are surprisingly physician-friendly while some may not be very suitable for physicians in certain specialties. The ranking can be based on factors such as the availability of physicians, disciplinary actions against physicians, the premiums paid for medical liability coverage, cost of living index, and state income taxes among many other factors linked to the cost of administration.
  • 3. Texas Texas is one of the better states for general surgeons and internal medicine because of the low liability insurance premiums for these specialties. A low cost of living index and low state income tax rates make it one of the top states for physicians to practice medicine. The high percentage of uninsured in this largest state would create a need for health care providers in the future which could be much larger compared to any other state in the country. Moreover, there is no shortage of medical billers and coders in Texas and this makes administrative processes frugal and efficient at the same time.
  • 4. California California is the best state as far as physiciansโ€™ salary is concerned and is also favorable in terms of Geographic Practice Cost Indices or GPCI. Another feature that is in favor of physicians in this golden state is the comparative lack of competition in the state in many areas coupled with low medical liability premiums.
  • 5. Alabama Alabama is one of the states where competition is thin for physicians and almost 20% of the people in the age group 19-64 are without health insurance. In face of health reforms, these would be entitled to insurance and the number of patient-doctor encounters would also increase. The cost of living index is lower in Alabama compared to many other states in the US. Furthermore, fewer disciplinary actions by the medical board in Alabama in comparison to other states make it a place that is lucrative and suitable for physicians.
  • 6. South Dakota South Dakota is also one of the states which are ideal for physicians and health care providers due to zero state income taxes and zero liability insurance premiums. Moreover, South Dakota also has a low cost of living index and a comparative scarcity of physicians, making it financially beneficial to provide health care services here. South Dakota is one of the states with a very high density of medical billers and coders making it apt for physicians and health care providers from the point of view of administrative and medical billing and coding support.
  • 7. Tennessee Tennessee is one of the states that are physician-friendly mostly because of zero state income taxes, a higher pay scale compared to numerous other states, a low number of disciplinary actions, and a low cost of living index. Moreover, the easy availability of medical billers and coders in Tennessee makes it ideal for cutting costs as far as the administrative processes related to practicing medicine are concerned.
  • 8. Although many other states also have positives for physicians but these five states are among the best because all or most of the factors such as cost of living, remuneration, liability insurance premiums, number of disciplinary actions against physicians, state income taxes, GPCI, and number of health providers in the state are in favor of health care providers.
