Statewide totals
| Active NPI records | 121,459 |
| Registered sole proprietors | 30,588 (25.2%) |
The sole-proprietor flag is self-reported, so the 25.2% share should be read as a registry classification rather than a direct measure of private practice. It is an imperfect proxy and may not capture every arrangement in which a provider works independently.
