Health Care Providers

Establishments of licensed practitioners holding an M.D. degree and engaged in the practice of general or specialized medicine and surgery. This industry includes physician-operated clinics. Sample business functions include ambulatory surgical centers, offices of anesthesiologists, physician (M.D.) clinics, offices of dermatologists, freestanding emergency medical centers, offices of gynecologists, neurologists, obstetricians, oculists, and ophthalmologists.

Organizations that both provide health care services and underwrite health and medical insurance. This category also includes medical groups that deliver care to HMO members under contract, as well as physician practice groups typically affiliated with teaching institutions, research centers, and public hospitals.

Establishments, other than offices and clinics of doctors and group health practices, that provide primarily outpatient health treatment services. This includes providers offering services through telehealth or telemedicine platforms, enabling remote delivery of care and consultations.
