Case Management Registered Nurse: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this specialty, 1,900 records flagged as sole proprietors represent 33.5% of the 5,672 active records, but that percentage should not be read as a measured private-practice rate. The sole-proprietor indicator is a self-reported NPPES field and an imperfect proxy that may not capture all practice arrangements or establish how a clinician works.

By state

New NPI registrations by year

Counts reflect the year each NPI was first issued, among records still active today. The final year is partial: this data covers through 2026-01-11.

Data notes

• The sole-proprietor field is self-reported by the provider in NPPES and is an imperfect proxy for private practice.
• A sole-proprietor count shown as <11 is suppressed: the true value is below 11, which could include zero.
• - The data count active NPI records with this taxonomy as the primary classification, not every person who may provide case management nursing services.
• - NPPES fields are provider-reported and may be incomplete or outdated; sole-proprietor status does not equal private-practice status.
• - The first-enumeration year records when an NPI was issued, not necessarily when case-management work began or when current activity started.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
