Methodology
County assignment is based on the provider's practice city from the NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System) registry. Each Nevada city is mapped to one of 17 counties. Providers with out-of-state or unrecognized city names are excluded from county totals.
Tribal areas (Owyhee, Nixon, Duckwater, Schurz) are mapped to their nearest geographic county.
