Managed SDR services for healthcare are outsourced sales development teams that handle prospecting, lead qualification, and appointment setting for companies that sell to health systems, payers, MedTech buyers, and other healthcare organizations.
The short version: the right partner depends on whether you need healthcare depth, low cost per hour, or flexible month-to-month terms. No single agency wins on all three.
How we evaluated
We looked at seven things that matter more in healthcare than in general B2B outbound:
- Healthcare specialization. Whole business, dedicated practice, or one industry page?
- Channels. Phone, email, LinkedIn, and anything else.
- Data and compliance awareness. HIPAA, healthcare data, or list quality (as they describe it).
- Pricing transparency. Published price, starting point, or “contact us”?
- Ramp. How long to launch (as published).
- Reporting. Visibility into activity, meetings, and pipeline.
- Contract terms. Pilot length, month-to-month vs. annual, meeting definition.

Advertise with usThe agencies, one by one
Connexu — best for a healthcare-only focus
Who they are: a managed SDR and B2B lead generation company built exclusively for healthcare. Healthcare-specialized SDRs book meetings with health system, payer, MedTech, digital health, health IT, and life sciences buyers.
- Healthcare focus: healthcare only. SDRs go through SDaRmy training, including modules on HIPAA, HITECH, CMS rules, and value-based care (per Connexu’s published materials).
- Channels and tools: email, phone, and LinkedIn outreach, plus retargeting. Reps are supported by Connexu’s AI SDR Co-Pilot, intent signals, account-propensity scoring, and ConnexuIQ call intelligence.
- Reporting: pipeline dashboard with real-time meeting tracking; weekly coaching and call reviews.
- Pricing: three tiers (Catalyst, Momentum, Apex), all custom-quoted. No public dollar figure.
- Terms: annual retainers or monthly rolling. Outcome ranges set up front — not blanket public guarantees.
- Worth knowing: if you sell outside healthcare too, Connexu is not the right fit for those segments.
Belkins — best published healthcare starter package
Belkins was founded in 2017 and lists U.S. offices in Dover, Delaware and Denver, Colorado, plus locations in Europe. Its healthcare page says it has worked with B2B healthcare companies since 2017. It offers appointment setting, cold email, cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, lead research, ABM, and outsourced SDRs.
- Pricing: Belkins’ healthcare page has published a typical starter package that includes lead volume and three outreach channels. Amounts change — verify current pricing with Belkins; final pricing is a custom proposal.
- Proof (as published on Belkins’ site): case-study style results such as “34 qualified appointments in 2 months.” Treat these as Belkins’ claims, not our verification.
SalesHive — best for flat-fee, no-contract outbound
SalesHive says it has been doing outbound since 2016 and serves 47 industries, including healthcare and healthcare IT.
- Pricing: one flat monthly fee covering SDRs, a strategist, its AI platform, data, and sending tools. No setup fees. Rates quoted on a strategy call.
- Terms: “No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime with written notice.”
- Ramp: two to three weeks to launch (as published).
Martal Group — best for a structured pilot
Martal offers appointment setting, outbound lead generation, cold email, cold calling, LinkedIn lead generation, and sales outsourcing, with a dedicated healthcare and medical lead generation page.
- Pricing: flat monthly fee, or flat fee plus sales commission on higher tiers. Dollar amounts aren’t published.
- Terms: a three- or four-month pilot campaign, then a monthly subscription.
Callbox — best for global, multi-region campaigns
Callbox says it was founded in 2004 and describes itself as a large provider of outsourced B2B marketing and sales support. For healthcare tech, it describes “HIPAA-aware outreach” aimed at clinical and administrative decision-makers. Pricing and terms were not published on the pages we checked.
Leadium — best for month-to-month flexibility
Leadium offers appointment setting, data sourcing, and inbound lead qualification. Healthcare isn’t one of the industries featured on its site. Its intake form shows monthly budget bands — verify current pricing with Leadium; terms are month-to-month; ramp listed as 7–10 days.
MarketJoy — best for a generalist with a healthcare page
MarketJoy has a medical and healthcare lead generation page. Pricing isn’t published; it states no setup fees and teams of up to six people.
Rent A Sales Rep — best for appointment setting plus field sales
Says it “was founded in the healthcare industry,” with relationships across hospitals, nursing homes, and community points of care. Pricing is described in rough monthly ranges on their site — verify current pricing with the vendor; contract requirements apply.
Revnew — best for content syndication plus outbound
Offers demand generation, appointment setting, content syndication, webinar promotion, email and LinkedIn outreach, and SDR outsourcing. Pricing and terms not published on the pages we checked.
Hit Rate Solutions — best for low-cost phone coverage
Philippines-headquartered outsourcing company with a U.S. office in Chicago. Publishes an hourly starting rate — verify current pricing with Hit Rate Solutions. Much of its healthcare appointment setting page is about patient-facing scheduling rather than B2B sales meetings — check scope before signing.
Which type fits you?
- Healthcare-only specialists (Connexu). Best when buyers are health systems, payers, or MedTech decision-makers.
- Large generalists with a healthcare practice (Belkins, Callbox, Martal, Revnew, SalesHive).
- Flexible or low-cost options (Leadium’s month-to-month, Hit Rate’s hourly calling).
Questions to ask before you sign
- Who will work my account, and have they sold to my buyer?
- How do you define a qualified meeting, and what happens when one no-shows?
- Where does your contact data come from?
- What will I see each week: activity, meetings, or pipeline?
- How long is the initial commitment, and what does it take to exit?
- Can I hear real calls and see real emails from a current healthcare campaign?
FAQ
What do healthcare SDR agencies do?
They run outbound prospecting: lists of decision-makers at healthcare organizations, contact by phone, email, and LinkedIn, qualification, and meetings for your account executives.
How much do B2B appointment setting companies cost for healthcare?
Published figures vary widely — from hourly offshore calling rates to monthly healthcare starter packages. Most providers quote custom prices. Verify current pricing with each vendor. We don’t invent a “typical” Connexu dollar amount.
Specialist or generalist?
If most of your pipeline comes from health systems, payers, or MedTech, a specialist usually ramps with less vocabulary training. If healthcare is one of several markets, a generalist with a healthcare practice can cover more under one contract.
Does outsourced SDR involve HIPAA?
B2B sales outreach to healthcare executives rarely involves protected health information. Reps should still understand HIPAA and related rules. Providers that do patient-facing calling need formal HIPAA processes.
Bottom line
There’s no single best healthcare SDR agency — only the best fit. Shortlist two or three, ask the questions above, and insist on seeing real healthcare campaign work.
