Largest occupational medicine physician group practices

Selling into healthcare? Physician groups can be appealing targets for your marketing efforts because they tend to centralize their purchasing decisions, making it possible to profit from bulk sales and long-term partnerships through one marketing connection. Physician group size and specialty are two useful metrics for narrowing down your target list.

What is occupational medicine?

Occupational medicine is the practice of treating injuries and illnesses sustained due to a patient’s professional responsibilities. If your product or service caters to occupational medicine providers, targeting the largest occupational medicine physician groups can help you reach more physicians and facilities at once.

How many occupational medicine physician group practices are there in the U.S.?

Our database shows that there are 10 active occupational medicine physician group practices in the U.S. These physician groups often operate several different locations, so the number of physician group practices does not reflect the number of occupational medicine practices in the United States.

Why target occupational medicine physician groups?

Targeting a private practice doctor versus a hospital or health system can give you easier access to key executives and decision-makers. Since many private practice doctors are part of a physician group, they should be a key target for your marketing efforts.

Occupational medicine physician groups are specialists who require the proper technology, equipment, and training to support their patients. These requirements mean that physician groups—especially those with many physicians and clinics—can present significant sales opportunities for the right organization.

What is the largest occupational medicine physician group in the U.S.?

Mission Center Healthcare is the largest occupational medicine physician group in the country based on number of physicians, with four physicians.

Two occupational medicine physician groups have three physicians and tie for second: Occupational Health Center and The Work Clinic.

While these occupational medicine physician groups have a relatively small number of physicians within their network, the occupational medicine specialty is among the specialties seeing the most growth in claims. Knowing which specialties are growing can highlight potential opportunities for future sales or partnerships.

Tips for targeting occupational medicine physician groups

The challenges and priorities of each physician group are unique, so your marketing approach should be unique for each group, as well. By analyzing intelligence like tech install data, procedure and claims data, and Medicare charges, you can gain insights into physician groups that will allow you to personalize your outreach for maximum efficiency.

Focus on how your product, technology, or service can improve patient outcomes, enhance diagnostic capabilities, or optimize operations—whichever challenges are most pressing for the physician group.

Consider including success stories from case studies or clinical trials that are relevant to the needs of the physician group you’re engaging.
