What the count covers

295 NPPES records list optician (156FX1800X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Massachusetts: 4.2 per 100,000 residents against 2 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Boston has 26 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.
