What the count covers

160 NPPES records list music therapist (225A00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in California: 0.4 per 100,000 residents against 1 nationally (50 states and D.C.). San Diego has 15 of them (9%).

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.
