Largest psychology physician group practices

The changing healthcare landscape is prompting more and more physicians to join physician groups. Not only do these medical practices allow physicians to centralize their purchases, but they also allow physicians to offer their patients high-quality care thanks to their connections to other specialists.

Despite the appeal that targeting multiple physicians through one group offers, the size and variety of the U.S. physician group market is immense and can be overwhelming at first glance. To overcome this hurdle, refining the market by specialty type and size can be a sensible first step for anyone interested in selling into the market.

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

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

The Definitive Healthcare database shows that there are 3,213 active psychology physician group practices in the U.S. However, it’s common for physician groups to have multiple locations in order to accommodate their physicians and remain competitive, so this number is likely lower than the number of psychology practices.

Why target psychology physician groups?

Psychologists study the brain and behavior by observing, surveying, and interviewing their patients. They identify psychological, behavioral, and emotional issues and diagnose disorders.

Since psychologists require the proper technology, equipment, and training 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 physician groups can lead to bulk sales and long-term partnerships.
