Who registers under this code

312 of these are people and 33 are organisations, so 10% of the code is businesses rather than clinicians. Half of them had registered by 2013, and 26 registered in the last five years, 8% of the current population.

That is a slow-growing code, which usually means an established field replacing retirements rather than expanding.

Where the practices are

By practice-location city. City counts are noisier than state counts, because a large employer files one address for many providers.

Looking up a specific provider

These counts come from the monthly NPPES file. To check one provider, use their NPI: the lookup reads the live registry and shows whether the identifier is still active, which the monthly file cannot tell you about the last few weeks.
