NAICS 622310 · United States · 2022 edition
This industry comprises establishments known and licensed as specialty hospitals primarily engaged in providing diagnostic and medical treatment to inpatients with a specific type of disease or medical condition (except psychiatric or substance abuse). Hospitals providing long-term care for the chronically ill and hospitals providing rehabilitation, restorative, and adjustive services to physically challenged or disabled people are included in this industry. These establishments maintain inpatient beds and provide patients with food services that meet their nutritional requirements. They have an organized staff of physicians and other medical staff to provide patient care services. These hospitals may provide other services, such as outpatient services, diagnostic X-ray services, clinical laboratory services, operating room services, physical therapy services, educational and vocational services, and psychological and social work services.

Specialty hospitals maintain inpatient beds and provide diagnosis, treatment, and care to patients with a specific disease or condition — such as orthopedic, cardiac, oncology, rehabilitation, or long-term acute care. They employ or credential physicians, nurses, therapists, and support staff, and typically operate ancillary services including imaging, lab, pharmacy, dietary, and physical therapy. Patient care is the core operation, with administrative, billing, and facility management supporting it.
Questions to investigate
- What is the primary specialty focus of the hospital — rehabilitation, orthopedic, cardiac, oncology, long-term acute care, or other?
- Are physicians employed by the hospital or independently credentialed, and is there a physician-ownership structure?
- What surgical procedures, if any, are performed on-site, and what is the acuity level of patients served?
- What is the licensed bed count and typical daily census?
