Limit App Distribution

I’m developing an app for a few health care providers in my local area. Each provider is an individual person with an iPad. I need to distribute it to each provider individually. I’d rather not put my app on the public App Store, as I’m not ready to support more than a few providers at once. Beta testing won’t work very well for me either, since there will be over 100 installs needed, which is the test flight limit. I’ve looked into other services like AppCenter or firebase for distribution through them, but I’d really like to do it through the native App Store. Additionally, each provider can’t create a business account that I could distribute to.

So what I’m asking is is there a way for me to publish an app to the App Store, then have it be hidden to the public unless I send a person a link to the app. That way I can use the App Store while still keeping control over who can have my app.
I dont think you can limit the access unless you have an enterprise account.

you should be able to put a login/password on the app to get to the features. (Even if they are hard-coded)
