What the count covers

951 NPPES records list occupational therapist (225X00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Mississippi: 32 per 100,000 residents against 40 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Ridgeland has 123 of them (13%).

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.
