What the count covers

22 NPPES records list naturopath (175F00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Louisiana: 0.5 per 100,000 residents against 2.1 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Lafayette has 4 of them (18%).

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.
