What Is a NAICS Code?
NAICS stands for the North American Industry Classification System. It is the standard system used by U.S. federal statistical agencies to classify business establishments when collecting, analyzing, and publishing data about the economy. A NAICS code classifies an establishment according to its primary economic activity. It does not identify a specific company, customer base, service line, revenue level, or buying intent.
NAICS was introduced in 1997 to replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. It was developed jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico to support comparable North American business statistics.
Healthcare NAICS Codes: Sector 62
Healthcare businesses are classified in NAICS Sector 62, Health Care and Social Assistance. The Census Bureau describes it as the sector of establishments providing health care and social assistance for individuals. The two activities share one sector because the boundary between them is not always clear, so its industries run on a continuum from medical care to social assistance.
| NAICS Code | Subsector (NAICS) | What It Covers | Establishments (CBP) | Paid Employees (CBP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 62 | Health Care and Social Assistance | Whole sector | 1,003,398 | 22,063,238 |
| 621 | Ambulatory Health Care Services | Outpatient care: physician, dental and other practitioner offices, outpatient centers, laboratories, home health and ambulance services. | 701,862 | 8,697,480 |
| 622 | Hospitals | Medical, diagnostic and treatment services for inpatients. | 7,523 | 6,344,178 |
| 623 | Nursing and Residential Care Facilities | Residential care combined with nursing, supervisory or other care. | 94,771 | 3,278,910 |
| 624 | Social Assistance | Social assistance provided directly to clients, generally without residential care. | 199,242 | 3,742,670 |
How Healthcare NAICS Codes Are Structured
Each additional digit generally provides greater classification detail, although the hierarchy does not mean that every additional digit describes a separate physical location or service line. NAICS primarily classifies establishments according to their primary economic activity. An establishment is generally a single physical location, while one company may operate multiple establishments and may have different classifications across locations
| Digits | Level | Example Code | Title (NAICS) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 digits | Sector | 62 | Health Care and Social Assistance |
| 3 digits | Subsector | 621 | Ambulatory Health Care Services |
| 4 digits | Industry group | 6211 | Offices of Physicians |
| 5 digits | NAICS industry | 62111 | Offices of Physicians |
| 6 digits | National industry | 621111 | Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists) |
The five-digit industry level is generally shared across Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Each country may add national detail at the six-digit level, so six-digit codes are country-specific.
