Medical Groups

Medical groups and practices employ most U.S. doctors today. This directory lists every medical group enrolled in Medicare with at least two clinicians. For each one, it shows how many doctors, nurse practitioners and other clinicians it has, their specialties, the addresses where they practice and the hospitals they work with.

Find medical groups on the map

The map shades each state by medical groups per 100,000 residents. The dots show the largest practice locations, and larger dots have more clinicians at that address. First, select a state to see its own map and list. Then hover over a dot for details, and select it to open the group.

What each medical group page shows

• Every practice location, largest first, with a map.
• The clinicians at each location, by specialty.
• The hospitals its clinicians list as places they work.

Why medical groups matter

Many patients choose a practice rather than a single doctor. For example, a large group can offer primary care, specialists and imaging in one place. In contrast, a small practice may offer more continuity with one clinician. For doctors, the group is often the employer. As a result, its size, locations and hospital ties shape the job.

Group data comes from the CMS Doctors and Clinicians (opens in a new tab) files. Related: hospitals, find a doctor, evaluating your first job after residency.

Questions about medical groups

What is a medical group? A medical group is a practice where two or more clinicians bill Medicare together under one organization. It can be a small office or a large system with hundreds of locations.

How do I find a doctor in a medical group? Open the group, then choose the location nearest you. The page lists the clinicians at that address by specialty. In addition, you can search for the group by name in find a doctor.

Why are some medical groups missing? We list groups enrolled in Medicare with at least two clinicians. So solo practices and groups that never bill Medicare do not appear here.
