Rehabilitation Practitioner: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

What this specialty covers

A health care practitioner who trains or retrains individuals disabled by disease or injury to help them attain their maximum functional capacity.

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this specialty, the 45.4% sole-proprietor share describes records carrying that NPPES flag, not a confirmed share of practitioners operating in private practice. The sole-proprietor field is self-reported and may not capture all forms of private practice or distinguish every clinician's business arrangement.

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.
• Counts reflect active NPI records with this taxonomy as the primary classification, not necessarily unique people, organizations, or currently practicing clinicians.
• State totals and enumeration-year totals may reflect differences in reporting, record updates, taxonomy selection, and timing.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
