Statewide totals
| Active NPI records | 578,332 |
| Registered sole proprietors | 139,711 (24.2%) |
The sole-proprietor flag is self-reported and is an imperfect proxy for private practice. The 24.2% share should therefore be read as a description of NPPES record classifications, not as a direct count of independent practices.
