Family Planning Centers

NAICS 621410 · Ambulatory Health Care Services · SBA size standard: $19 million average annual receipts

Family planning centers schedule appointments, provide counseling, conduct exams and testing, dispense contraceptives, and manage follow-up care. For a center handling walk-ins, scheduled counseling, exams, STI testing and contraceptive services, the specialists turn inquiries into booked visits with correct visit-type blocks, assemble charts and consents, manage daily provider and room schedules, track medical supply inventory with expiration awareness, prepare billing documentation from clinician notes, coordinate lab requisitions and results, and maintain renewal tracking for licenses and credentials. All clinical decisions, chart sign-offs, patient communications, and regulatory filings stay with licensed staff.
