What the count covers

1,942 NPPES records list peer specialist (175T00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Kentucky: 42.9 per 100,000 residents against 9.5 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Louisa has 769 of them (40%).

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.
