How these figures are counted
- Every figure counts published listings that serve Kentucky: an office in the state, or online sessions offered to people there. A listing is not a confirmed opening.
- Listings come from two sources: profiles providers manage themselves, and listings copied from the public NPI record, the federal registry of healthcare providers. NPI listings can be out of date, and are removed when a provider asks.
- “Accepting new clients” counts only providers who confirmed it within the last 30 days. A confirmation lapses after that.
- Fees come only from providers who publish their own, and appear once at least 3 do. They are before insurance.
- Professions, languages, age groups and fees are what each provider lists. Nothing here is estimated, and these figures do not describe insurance networks.
