Largest preventative medicine physician group practices

An increasing number of physicians are joining physician groups to enhance their practice capabilities, streamline operations, and provide more comprehensive patient care. These groups typically share resources, such as administrative support, technology, and purchasing power, which can lead to improved efficiency and cost savings.

Given the scale and diversity of the U.S. physician group market, segmenting the market by specialty type and size is often a sensible first step for anyone interested in selling into this space.

Below is a list of the largest preventative medicine physician group practices compiled using PhysicianGroupView and the Atlas Dataset.

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

The Definitive Healthcare database shows that there are 35 active preventative medicine physician group practices in the U.S. While this number may be smaller than other physician specialties, preventative medicine is one of the highest-growing specialties based on claims.

Why target preventative medicine physician groups?

Preventative medicine specialists offer preventative health care to improve patient well-being and prevent disease, disability, and death. They are also prepared to respond to public health emergencies and promote education on disease prevention.

Physicians at preventative medicine clinics require the proper technology, equipment, and training to evaluate and administer preventive treatment. If your company has an offering that can address these needs, physician groups comprised of these specialists may be a wise target. Furthermore, targeting physician groups can lead to bulk sales and long-term partnerships due to their tendency to centralize their purchasing decisions.
