Reachable Buyer Map

Prepared for Bert Sanchez · Quantum Pharmaceuticals · September 2026
Here is the map Sophie promised. Your own site sets the boundaries for it: dual 503A and 503B operations, serving practitioners, patients and pharmacies, in the nine states you hold licensure in. So this page takes those nine states, splits the market into the groups that can actually buy from you, and for each one shows who owns the decision and roughly how many organizations exist. It maps the market around Quantum Pharmaceuticals, not Quantum Pharmaceuticals. Two of these groups have no honest public count and the page says so rather than showing you a number. There is nothing to buy at the end of it.
Where the decision sits
Seven rows across Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Every number counts organizations, not clinicians and not licenses. The rows do not overlap, because each organization is counted once under its own primary registration, but they do not sum to a sales target either.
Primary care, nurse practitioner and multi-specialty practices
The volume base. This is where most weight management and most hormone therapy is actually written, not in a specialty clinic, and it is the largest reachable group in your nine states by a wide margin. The important split inside it is ownership: an independent practice decides in one conversation, a practice owned by a hospital system or a private equity platform decides through a formulary or a group contract and takes months longer. That split is not in any register and has to be built.
Who decides: at an independent practice, the owning physician or the managing partner, usually the same person who signs. At a nurse practitioner led clinic, the owner directly.
Who blocks it: the practice manager, who owns the workflow the prescription has to survive, and who is the person most likely to have been burned by a slow compounder before.
About 27,000
organizations across the nine states. Family medicine, internal medicine, primary care clinics, nurse practitioner and physician assistant practices and multi-specialty clinics, each counted once.
Hormone specialty prescribers
Smaller than the primary care row by a factor of seven, and a completely different conversation: these prescribers already know what they want compounded and will judge you on consistency, turnaround and documentation rather than on the therapy itself. Obstetrics and gynecology is the largest part of this row, urology and endocrinology the rest. It is the row where a single won account tends to carry the most repeat volume per practice.
Who decides: the physician, and in a single specialty group usually the senior partner rather than a committee.
What they ask first: which states you are licensed to ship into, which is a question your nine state footprint answers for you and against you depending on who is asking.
About 3,800
organizations across the nine states: obstetrics and gynecology, gynecology, urology, endocrinology and metabolism.
Weight management prescribers
The one the public register genuinely cannot see, and the most useful thing on this page. Across all nine states, only 81 organizations carry any obesity medicine or weight management code at all, and only 72 of those are a physician or nurse practitioner subspecialty code. That is not the size of the market, it is the size of the labeling. The prescribers writing this business are sitting inside the 27,000 row above, registered as family medicine or internal medicine, invisible as weight management. The practical consequence: this segment cannot be bought as a list from anybody. It has to be built by name, from conference rosters, state licensure, clinic sites and the practices already ordering.
Who decides: the clinic owner, and in cash pay weight management that is often a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant running their own practice rather than a physician.
No usable public count
81 coded organizations in the nine states, 72 of them physician or nurse practitioner codes, against a real population that is plainly far larger.
Skin and hair, and the aesthetic clinics behind them
Dermatology and plastic surgery are countable and they are the smallest of the medical rows. The part that matters for a hair and skin line is not countable at all: med spas and cash pay aesthetic clinics have no registration category anywhere in the federal provider register, so nobody can hand you a national number for them. They are reachable, just not countable, and they behave differently from every other row on this page because they buy on margin and turnaround rather than on clinical documentation.
Who decides: at a dermatology or plastic surgery practice, the physician owner. At a med spa, the owner or the medical director, who is often a physician lending supervision to a business he or she does not run day to day. Knowing which of those two you are talking to changes the entire approach.
About 1,800
dermatology and plastic surgery organizations in the nine states. Med spas and cash pay aesthetic clinics have no public count and are deliberately not estimated here.
Pharmacies
Your second largest row, and the only one where you are selling to a peer rather than to a prescriber. Retail and independent pharmacies, clinic pharmacies, long term care and home infusion pharmacies all sit here. One caution the register forces us to give you: only 247 organizations in these nine states carry a compounding specific registration, which is obviously fewer than the real number, because most compounding pharmacies register under the general retail category. So this row is counted as all pharmacy organizations, and the compounding subset inside it cannot be separated out from public data alone.
Who decides: the pharmacist in charge or the owner at an independent, and that is a single conversation. At a chain, a corporate purchasing function that will not take a cold approach at store level.
About 19,000
pharmacy organizations across the nine states: retail and independent, clinic, long term care and home infusion. Of these, 247 carry a compounding specific registration.
Facilities buying for office use
This is the row your 503B side exists for, and it is the one that behaves least like the others. Surgery centers, hospitals and infusion clinics buy stock for administration on site, not against a patient name, which is a different regulatory basis, a different contract and usually a different budget holder from everything above. It is also the row least likely to be reached by a conference booth, because the buyer is a supply chain function rather than a prescriber.
Who decides: the director of pharmacy at a hospital, the administrator or clinical director at a surgery center. Both are supply chain buyers.
Who signs it off: a value analysis or purchasing committee at any facility inside a system, which is the slowest approval on this page. The independent surgery centers in this row are the fast half and are worth separating before any outreach starts.
About 6,000
organizations across the nine states: ambulatory surgery centers, general acute care hospitals, infusion clinics and home infusion providers.
The access front door
Community health centers, rural health clinics and urgent care. Worth its own row rather than folding into primary care, because these organizations serve populations that often cannot reach a specialist at all, they are named and addressed in public registers, and across your nine states they are distributed very unevenly. Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kansas and Arkansas all carry more of them per primary care practice than the national pattern, Missouri at more than double it. Oklahoma and Texas, your two largest markets by volume, both carry fewer. They move slowly on procurement and quickly on anything that widens access, which is the opposite of the cash pay rows.
Who decides: the chief medical officer or the clinical director, and at a smaller rural clinic frequently the chief executive directly.
About 8,900
organizations across the nine states: community health centers, rural health clinics and urgent care.
The same map by state
Your nine licensed states, largest first, with the three rows that carry the most volume. The columns count different things and do not sum across.

Where the openings are

1
Your fastest growing line is the one no list vendor can sell you. Weight management prescribers are 81 coded organizations in nine states on paper and a far larger population in reality, hidden inside the primary care row. Everyone selling into that segment is working from the same blind register, which means the advantage goes to whoever builds the named list first rather than to whoever buys the best data. That is a build, and it is the single highest value piece of work on this page.
2
You are running three sales motions, not one. Prescribers, pharmacies and facilities buying for office use each have a different decision owner, a different contract and a different objection, and the 503B facility row in particular will not be reached by the conference calendar that reaches prescribers. About 6,000 facility organizations sit in your nine states and need a named account approach. Trying to run all three through one message is the most common reason a compounder plateaus at the size its founder's network reached.
3
Texas is not a state on this map, it is half the map. Texas holds 46 percent of all registered healthcare organizations across your nine licensed states, and about 12,800 of the primary care row on its own. Whether you build the engine Texas first or build it across Oklahoma and its neighbors first is a real strategic fork, not a detail, because the travel, the referral patterns and the competitive density are different in each case. It is worth deciding deliberately rather than by whoever replies first.
Built from the public federal provider register, monthly file dated 13 July 2026, read in full. Counts are organizations, not clinicians and not licenses, and each organization is counted once under its own primary registration, so the rows do not double count. Counts are banded deliberately. The nine states are the licensure footprint named on your own site. A registration proves enumeration only, never quality or activity, and a segment with no credible public number says so here rather than showing one.
