It counts everyone with a registered address here, including people who have retired, moved or stopped taking new clients — nothing forces those records to be updated. Read it as a cautionary upper bound rather than a promise.

Licences are issued at state level, so a provider anywhere in Indiana can generally see you by video — which makes the statewide figure the more useful one: 21,203 licensed providers are registered across Indiana. Asking specifically whether a practice takes remote appointments is usually the fastest way to widen the search.
These counts come from the federal NPI registry. A provider appears here if they hold an active NPI with a practice address in this area — it does not mean they are currently accepting new clients, and the registry does not record insurance, fees or availability.
