Why Healthcare Practices Choose Direct Mail

Direct mail remains the most trusted patient acquisition channel for healthcare. Patients who receive a mailer are 70% more likely to schedule an appointment than those reached only by digital ads.

Practice Radius Targeting

Target every household within 3, 5, or 10 miles of your practice — reaching the patients most likely to choose you based on proximity.

Age-Based Patient Targeting

Filter by age for pediatric (families with children), adult, or senior (65+) practices — matching your services to the right demographic.

HIPAA-Aware Approach

Our mailing lists use only public demographic data — no PHI involved. We help you craft compliant campaigns that respect patient privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Appointment postcard mailers with a clear new patient offer, a photo of your practice team, and your accepted insurance plans generate the most calls. Brochure mailers work well for specialty practices introducing multiple service lines. Letters are effective for Medicare and insurance enrollment campaigns.

We pull consumer mailing lists filtered by radius from your practice address — typically 3, 5, or 10 miles depending on your specialty. We also filter by relevant age groups: families with children for pediatric practices, seniors 65+ for Medicare and assisted living, and adults 40–64 for general and preventive care.

Yes — our patient acquisition campaigns use only public demographic data (age, geography, household income) from consumer mailing lists. No patient health information (PHI) is involved in list acquisition. The mailing list contains people who are not yet your patients, so HIPAA rules about marketing to existing patients do not apply.

Absolutely. We can filter our consumer database to 65+ households, 70+ households, or seniors living alone. Estimated income and net worth filters help identify seniors who can afford premium care options. Our specialty lists also include Medicare Supplement buyers and senior activity participants.

Most primary care and dental practices draw from a 3–5 mile radius. Specialty practices with more regional draw typically use a 5–15 mile radius. We'll pull counts for multiple radius options so you can see the trade-off between reach and volume before committing.

Healthcare practices typically need to reach 1,000–3,000 households to generate 10–20 new patient inquiries per campaign, depending on specialty and offer. Consistent quarterly mailing to the same radius builds name recognition and generates compounding returns over time.

We cannot target by insurance plan specifically, as that data is not publicly available. However, we can target by estimated income, homeownership status, and employer type — proxies that correlate strongly with commercially insured vs. Medicare/Medicaid patient populations.

Once you approve your list counts and artwork, we can have your campaign printed and in the mail within 5–7 business days. Rush timelines of 3–4 days are available. Total time from first conversation to patient mailbox is typically 2–3 weeks.
