Intellectual Disabilities Intermediate Care Facility: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

What this specialty covers

An intermediate care facility providing services for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Reading the sole-proprietor share

Among the 5,900 active records, 48, or 0.8%, are flagged as sole proprietors in NPPES. For this facility-based specialty, the flag describes how the NPI holder reported its organizational status, not whether a facility is privately owned or independently operated. Because the field is self-reported and may not reflect ownership or affiliations, 0.8% is only an imperfect proxy for private practice.

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.
• An NPI identifies a provider or organization, so record counts should not automatically be interpreted as counts of facilities, locations, or service sites.
• Providers can have additional taxonomies, and primary taxonomy assignments may change over time.
• NPI enumeration year is not necessarily the facility opening date, and active status and NPPES fields can change.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
