Healthcare providers in Nebraska: NPI counts by specialty

This page summarizes active CMS NPPES records with a practice location in Nebraska. It reports the total number of records, the share flagged as sole proprietors, and the largest specialty categories in the registry. These figures help practice managers, physicians considering practice in Nebraska, and analysts describe the recorded provider landscape, while recognizing that NPPES classifications are administrative data rather than a complete measure of clinical capacity.

Statewide totals

Active NPI records83,007
Registered sole proprietors20,639 (24.9%)

In Nebraska, 20,639 of 83,007 active records, or 24.9%, are flagged as sole proprietors. This flag is self-reported and is an imperfect proxy for private practice, so the share should not be treated as a direct count of independently practicing clinicians or businesses.
