Largest cardiology physician group practices
When looking to sell your healthcare product, software, or service to physician group practices, it’s essential to narrow your scope for more efficient marketing and sales targeting. Targeting the largest cardiology physician groups can often be an effective sales strategy.
How many cardiology physician group practices are there in the U.S.?
According to our database, there are 2,586 active cardiology physician group practices in the U.S. It’s important to note that a physician group may have several different locations, which allows physicians to remain competitive in the market while also giving them access to more patients. Generally, the physician groups with more physicians are also likely to have more locations, leading to a greater reach.
Why target cardiology physician groups?
Physicians at cardiology practices are at the forefront of treating and managing cardiology conditions. They rely heavily on the proper equipment, technology, and trained staff to provide the best patient outcomes for the life-sustaining organ found in the chest. Therefore, targeting large cardiology physician groups can offer significant sales opportunities if you have a product or service that aligns with the services they provide. With heart disease being the greatest health concern worldwide, cardiology physician groups have a stable customer base and substantial revenue potential.
There is also value in targeting physician groups versus other healthcare organizations—they often centralize purchasing decisions, which can lead to bulk sales and long-term partnerships. Additionally, partnering with respected physician groups can enhance credibility, market visibility, and even influence in the market.

Tips for targeting cardiology physician groups
Once you’ve honed in on your target list of cardiology physician groups, it’s essential to remember their key focuses and frame your offering as a solution to their needs. Consider the following to effectively engage cardiology physicians:
Understand their needs
Better understand the unique challenges and priorities of each physician group by drilling into data like procedure and claims data, tech install data, and even Medicare charges. Using these insights, you can prioritize high-impact prospects and personalize your outreach for maximum efficiency.
Highlight relevant benefits
Using your understanding of each physician group’s challenges, highlight the relevant benefits of your product, software, or service. Focus on how your solution can improve patient outcomes, enhance diagnostic capabilities, or optimize operations, and be sure to target your advantages to each physician group instead of having a blanket statement of benefits—they’ll find more value in your product or service when you can show them how it will benefit their specific challenges.
Showcase success stories
Provide evidence of the real-world benefits of your solution. Whether it’s clinical trial data or case studies, select success stories that are most relevant to the needs of the physician group you’re engaging.
