What the count covers

464 NPPES records list cardiovascular disease physician (207RC0000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Tennessee: 6.5 per 100,000 residents against 7.9 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Nashville has 139 of them (30%).

A record is a registration a provider made and keeps up to date: it shows neither that the provider is licensed nor that they still practice there. The state's own license search is the check.
