Analysis
NAICS 62199 is the 2022 NAICS industry for all other ambulatory health care services, part of 6219 (Other Ambulatory Health Care Services). Census lists 23 example activities under it in the official index.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 81% and employment rose 37%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 2 codes at this level within Other Ambulatory Health Care Services, with 67.7% of them.
Census lists 8 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 62111, 62121, 6213 and 6214. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
County Business Patterns counts 11,637 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 207,091 people at an average annual payroll of $64,740 per employee (42nd percentile of national industries). 53% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Across its national industries Census lists 23 index entries; typical ones are blood banks and blood pressure screening facilities.
