Frequently asked questions

What is NAICS 922130?

NAICS 922130 is the North American Industry Classification System code for Legal Counsel and Prosecution. It classifies this business activity for statistical, regulatory, and government procurement purposes. Federal agencies use NAICS codes to collect and publish data about the US economy, determine SBA size standards, and set aside contracts for small businesses.

What licenses and permits does a Legal Counsel and Prosecution need?

A Legal Counsel and Prosecution typically needs a local business license, a federal EIN from the IRS, and industry-specific permits depending on the sector. Check with your city or county clerk for a general business license, your state's professional or industry licensing board for any required occupational licenses, and your state's tax authority for a sales tax permit if you sell taxable goods or services.

How do I register a Legal Counsel and Prosecution business in the United States?

To register a Legal Counsel and Prosecution business, first choose your legal structure: sole proprietorship (simplest, uses SSN), LLC (personal liability protection, files with your Secretary of State), or corporation (Form 1120 or 1120-S). Register your business name (DBA) with your county if operating under a trade name. Obtain an EIN from the IRS at irs.gov/ein. Register with your state revenue department for any applicable taxes.

What tax forms does a Legal Counsel and Prosecution file with the IRS?

Tax forms depend on your entity type. A sole proprietor files Schedule C with Form 1040 and Schedule SE for self-employment tax (15.3%). An LLC taxed as a partnership files Form 1065 with Schedule K-1s. A C-Corporation files Form 1120 (21% flat rate). An S-Corporation files Form 1120-S. All businesses paying employees file Form 940 (FUTA) annually and Form 941 quarterly. Estimated tax payments are made via Form 1040-ES four times per year.

Is Legal Counsel and Prosecution the right NAICS code for my business?

Your NAICS code should reflect your primary business activity — the one generating the most revenue or value. If Legal Counsel and Prosecution describes your main line of business, NAICS 922130 is likely correct. If you have multiple distinct activities, you may need separate codes for statistical reporting. For federal contracting, your SAM.gov registration should use the code that best matches the work you perform. Review the official NAICS 922130 description and exclusions to confirm it fits your operations.

Does a Legal Counsel and Prosecution need an NPI number?

Yes. Any healthcare provider who transmits health information electronically and is a covered entity under HIPAA must obtain a National Provider Identifier (NPI), a unique 10-digit number issued by CMS. The NPI is used on all standard HIPAA transactions (claims, referrals, prescriptions). Apply at nppes.cms.hhs.gov. There is no fee. Type 1 NPIs are for individual providers; Type 2 NPIs are for organizational providers. You must update your NPI record within 30 days of changes.

How does a Legal Counsel and Prosecution enroll with Medicare and Medicaid?

Enroll through CMS PECOS (Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System) online or via paper Form CMS-855. You'll need your NPI, state license, DEA certificate (if prescribing), malpractice insurance, and bank account for EFT payments. Medicare enrollment processes as a Group Practice (CMS-855B) or Individual Practitioner (CMS-855I). Medicaid enrollment is state-specific but uses a common data set. Revalidation is required every 3-5 years. Enrollment can take 60-90 days.

What is a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and does a Legal Counsel and Prosecution need one?

A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is a HIPAA-required contract between a covered entity and any vendor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information (PHI) on their behalf. Common BAs include EHR vendors, billing services, cloud hosting, IT support, shredding services, and answering services. The BAA must specify permitted PHI uses, require BA to implement safeguards, report breaches, and ensure subcontractors also comply. BAAs are legally mandatory — working without one is a HIPAA violation.

What malpractice insurance does a Legal Counsel and Prosecution need?

Medical malpractice (professional liability) insurance is not federally required but is mandatory for hospital privileges, many insurer credentialing panels, and in some states (e.g., Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Wisconsin) for specific professions. Policy types: claims-made (covers incidents reported while policy is active) vs. occurrence (covers incidents that happened during the policy period regardless of when claimed). Tail coverage is needed when canceling a claims-made policy. Limits typically range from $1M/$3M (per claim/aggregate) upward.
