What the count covers

154 NPPES records list doula (374J00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Louisiana: 3.4 per 100,000 residents against 5.5 nationally (50 states and D.C.). New Orleans has 41 of them (27%).

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.
