Largest psychiatry physician group practices

As the healthcare landscape evolves, an increasing number of physicians are joining groups to centralize purchasing decisions and provide comprehensive, high-quality care through a network of experts. While the U.S. physician group market is large and diverse, strategically segmenting the market by specialty and size can simplify the approach for those looking to sell to physician practices.

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

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

The Definitive Healthcare database shows that there are 2,350 active psychiatry physician group practices in the U.S. with more than 47,000 active psychiatry specialists. However, it’s common for physician groups to have multiple locations in order to accommodate their physicians and remain competitive. Knowing this, the number above is not indicative of the number of psychiatry practices.

Why target psychiatry physician groups?

Psychiatrists focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders. This can also include substance use disorders.

Psychiatry is a growing specialty, based on their number of claims, indicating that these practices are seeing more and more patients.

Since psychiatrists require the proper technology, equipment, and training in order to evaluate, diagnose, and treat their patients, they may be a wise target if your company has an offering that can address these needs. Furthermore, since physician groups centralize their purchasing decisions, targeting them can lead to bulk sales and long-term partnerships.
