Federal obligations in offices of physicians except mental health specialists (NAICS 621111)

Physician offices on a federal contract

NAICS 621111 covers offices of physicians except mental health specialists. On USAspending.gov the code tags contract awards classified as that clinical-practice industry: contracted physician services, clinic operations coded to physician offices, and similar care bought as a contract. It is not a count of patient visits, and it is not Medicare fee-for-service claims. Those claims generally are not this NAICS table.

Health-insurance carriers are 524114. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is 325412. Biological-product manufacturing is 325414. A federal health program can buy plan administration, drugs, and clinic care on three different industry pages. The $26.6 billion figure is only awards tagged 621111.

Reading $26.6 billion without confusing it with benefits

USAspending records obligations on contract awards tagged 621111. Task orders and modifications feed $26,641,975,586.93. This packet has no fiscal-year split, no outlay total, and no beneficiary count. Citing $26.6 billion as “federal spending on doctors” will miss payroll physicians, grant-funded clinics, and insurance-carrier contracts.

5,142 awards, not 5,142 clinics

The 5,142 award records are contracting actions, including modifications. One medical group can hold many awards. The count is not 5,142 physician offices in the Census sense. Open the industry page for the award list.

Clinic contracting is not the same public record as a claims extract. USAspending contract awards tagged 621111 show $26,641,975,586.93 in obligations across 5,142 awards. Those awards are how agencies bought physician-office care as a vendor industry, except mental health specialists as the title requires. A community clinic grant, if it is assistance, may never receive a NAICS and will not sit in this total. A carrier contract tagged 524114 will not sit in this total. A drug buy tagged 325412 will not sit in this total. The 5,142 figure is the record count, including modifications that extend a medical-group vehicle. It is not visits and not a quality score. This page is not medical advice. Quote USAspending, obligations, and the except-mental-health qualifier.

What 621111 excludes

Insurance-carrier and drug-manufacturing dollars stay on 524114 and 325412 unless the award itself was tagged 621111.
