Top 15 Massachusetts physician groups by Medicare charges
The state of Massachusetts has over 2,000 physician groups, ranging from solo practices to large organizations with over 3,000 members.
If you’re interested in marketing to physician groups, a crucial first step is to narrow your focus, given the vast number of physician groups across the U.S., let alone MA.
One helpful metric for identifying promising groups is their total Medicare charges, as this can give insight into the group’s overall size, clinical activity, and average procedural costs.
