Largest pain management physician group practices
Physician groups are a unique element within the healthcare market because they focus on one specialty, which eliminates competition between individual providers and encourages them to cooperate to solve common issues. Being generally smaller than hospitals also allows physician groups to easily adapt to shifting markets and stay at the forefront of healthcare needs.
Selling your healthcare product, software, or service to physician group practices can be lucrative, but it’s essential to first narrow your list of possible outreach targets in order to maximize the efficiency of your sales and marketing efforts. One way you can narrow down your list of leads is by specialty type and size, as the largest pain management physician groups often present the greatest sales opportunities.
How many pain management physician group practices are there in the U.S.?
According to our database, there are 955 active pain management physician group practices in the U.S. Since each physician group may operate several different locations to provide physicians access to more patients, this number is not indicative of the number of pain management clinics.
Why target pain management physician groups?
Physicians at pain management practices are at the forefront of managing pain related to otherwise debilitating conditions, which is why they rely upon special equipment, technology, and trained staff to properly diagnose, evaluate, treat, prevent, and manage their patient’s health conditions.
Targeting large pain management physician groups can offer significant sales opportunities since physician groups typically present a stable customer base with substantial revenue potential. Additionally, physician groups often centralize purchasing decisions, which can lead to bulk sales and long-term partnerships—the larger the network, the greater the contract.
