Statewide totals
| Active NPI records | 34,841 |
| Registered sole proprietors | 6,883 (19.8%) |
The 19.8% share means that 6,883 of the 34,841 active records are flagged as sole proprietors in the registry. This flag is self-reported and is an imperfect proxy for private practice, so it should not be read as a definitive count of independently operated practices or individual clinicians.
