Healthcare providers in Kansas: NPI counts by specialty

This page summarizes active National Provider Identifier (NPI) records in the CMS NPPES registry for healthcare providers with a practice location in Kansas. It reports 69,610 records, identifies 13,377 records, or 19.2%, as flagged sole proprietors, and lists the largest specialties: Behavior Technician (3,442), Social Worker (2,795), Physical Therapist (2,763), Pharmacist (2,648), and Family Medicine Physician (2,462).

Statewide totals

Active NPI records69,610
Registered sole proprietors13,377 (19.2%)

The 19.2% figure is the share of these Kansas records carrying a sole-proprietor flag, not a count of all independently owned or privately practicing clinicians. The flag is self-reported and is an imperfect proxy for private practice, so it should be interpreted as a registry classification rather than a definitive practice-ownership measure.
