Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments classified in NAICS 621498 provide general or specialized outpatient medical care, but explicitly exclude five categories that have their own codes: family planning centers, outpatient mental health and substance abuse centers, HMO medical centers (which are owned by HMOs and focus on primary care for subscribers), kidney dialysis centers (which specialize in renal dialysis), and freestanding ambulatory surgical and emergency centers (which perform surgery or emergency treatment). The code captures all other outpatient care facilities, including those where practitioners with different professional degrees operate together.
