Division 86: Human health activities
Human health activities is deceptively broad. Its largest code, 86900, other human health, is where physiotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, podiatrists, aesthetic clinics and a long tail of allied health practitioners register, making it far more mixed than the medical codes beside it. GPs incorporate under 86210, hospital consultants and private specialists under 86220, dental practices under 86230, and hospitals and medical nursing homes under 86101 and 86102. Many entries are personal service companies for individual clinicians doing private or locum work rather than clinics with premises.
Medical accountancy is a genuine specialism, and its practitioners prospect new 86210 and 86220 incorporations, which typically mean a doctor starting private practice. Indemnity insurers, private hospital groups offering practising privileges, medical billing services and clinic management software vendors follow the same trail. Dental practices attract equipment suppliers, practice sales brokers and compliance consultants. Within 86900, segment by subspecialty before campaigning, since a counselling practice and an aesthetics clinic share a code but almost nothing else, and CQC status separates regulated providers from wellness businesses.
