Federal obligations in offices of physicians, mental health specialists (NAICS 621112)

Physician-office tags totaling $881.1 million

Federal agencies that contract for mental-health physician services tag vendors classified in 621112. The obligation rollup is $881,065,011.53. That is not a caseload statistic and not a clinical-outcomes score. Patient counts are not in the packet facts and are not estimated.

Ambulance services (621910) appear earlier in this slice as a different ambulatory-health NAICS. Hospitals and other physician offices use still other 62xxxx codes. The $881,065,011.53 is 621112 only—offices of physicians, mental health specialists—on 1,464 tagged awards.

1,464 awards and a professional-services average

One thousand four hundred sixty-four awards against $881,065,011.53 averages about $602,000 per action. Staffing contracts, clinic-support vehicles, and related physician-office awards can sit in that range. Task orders add count. The industry hub shows the size mix; this guide does not invent a provider list.

Neutral tone is required. The existence of $881,065,011.53 in tagged contracts is not a statement about adequacy of care, wait times, or diagnosis rates. Those questions need clinical datasets, not this NAICS extract.

Contracts versus Medicare versus grants

USAspending contract obligations tagged 621112 are not Medicare physician-fee-schedule payments. They are not Medicaid. They are not SAMHSA grants unless those grants happen to be recorded as contracts with a NAICS—which assistance typically is not. Mixing $881,065,011.53 with CMS claims invents a combined “federal mental health spend” that this packet does not support.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. Behavioral-health block grants will usually miss this 1,464-award contract total. Use program pages for assistance and this industry page for tagged physician-office contracts.

A complete citation of this industry is $881,065,011.53 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 621112, offices of physicians, mental health specialists, on 1,464 awards. Anything less—dropping the NAICS, dropping the word obligations, or dropping the contract-only universe—overstates what the extract contains. The packet facts do not include a fiscal year, so this guide does not invent one. Live tables on the industry hub can move when USAspending posts modifications; the harvested pair remains $881,065,011.53 and 1,464.

Obligation timing on clinical-service vehicles

Professional-services contracts often obligate a period of performance and invoice as care is delivered under the contract. The $881,065,011.53 is committed value on 1,464 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every encounter. Outlays can lag. Modifications can change ceilings.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle hospitals, ambulance services, Medicare claims, and grant-funded clinics without NAICS may land in 621112 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Ambulance services (621910) move patients; 621112 is physician-office establishments with a mental-health specialty. The public-record stance is to keep $881,065,011.53 attached to 621112 as tagged, then read the 1,464 rows as contract vehicles, not as a treatment ranking. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Where to read the award rows

Open the offices of physicians, mental health specialists industry page for the 1,464 awards behind $881,065,011.53. The all-industries directory links ambulance services and other health codes without merging their dollars into this physician-office figure. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Physician-office tags are not a care-quality score

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 1,464 actions producing $881,065,011.53 is physician-office service vehicles of mid-professional size, with about $602,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 1,464 is not a count of unique companies and not a count of physical units. Use the hub amount sort to see whether a few large rows plus a long tail make up most of the tagged total.

Outlays remain a separate USAspending concept. An agency can obligate $881,065,011.53 across 1,464 tagged offices of physicians, mental health specialists actions and pay on a different calendar. De-obligations after cancellations reduce the obligation ledger; they do not rewrite the fact that this NAICS has been a large tagged category in the harvest. Assistance without NAICS still sits outside even when the real-world activity looks similar. Program pages answer the grant question; this page answers the tagged-contract question.

Internal links on this file point only to the offices of physicians, mental health specialists industry page and the all-industries directory. Those are the packet hrefs. Neighboring industry codes mentioned in prose are classification context only. Source note, copied from the packet: NAICS from USAspending contract awards. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. The overlay’s job is to state $881,065,011.53, 1,464, the obligation unit, and the boundary around hospitals, ambulance services, Medicare claims, and grant-funded clinics without NAICS.
