Statewide totals
| Active NPI records | 153,686 |
| Registered sole proprietors | 30,167 (19.6%) |
The 19.6% figure is the share of Tennessee records flagged as sole proprietors, not a direct count of private practices. Because the flag is self-reported, it is an imperfect proxy for private practice and should be interpreted with other information.
