State and local governments buy clinical mental health services, forensic psychological evaluations, inpatient and residential behavioral health treatment, crisis stabilization, and related administrative staffing through this code.

The Illinois Department of Human Services appears repeatedly as a major buyer, posting multiple Medical Director positions across its psychiatric facilities (Choate Center, Chester Mental Health Center, Packard Mental Health Center, and ICRE-Roosevelt in Chicago). Other repeat buyers include county corrections and public safety agencies seeking pre-employment psychological screening, fitness-for-duty assessments, and employee mental health programming.
