Guide · US physical therapy clinics
23,449 organization records (17,287 unique organizations after grouping multi-site brands) are in our current US extract.
Source: CMS NPPES, August 2026.
Method: count matching NPPES organization records individually, then group normalized organization names for the unique-organization figure.
Counts are organization-type NPI records (Entity Type 2), not practice locations, and not proof a clinic is currently operating.
Use the registry to build the market, then verify and rank a short list against what you sell.
Download the CMS NPPES public dissemination file and select active Type 2 organization records carrying taxonomy 261QP2000X (Clinic/Center, Physical Therapy). Do not substitute physical therapists for organization records.
Open-source option: DuckDB. It can query large CSV files locally, but you are responsible for the filter and source update.
Use this tool online →Standardize state, city, and ZIP fields. Keep the NPI as the organization key and treat practice locations separately so multi-site operators are not mistaken for unrelated clinics.
Open-source option: csvkit. Its command-line tools are useful for inspection and cleanup; review malformed geographic values rather than silently assigning them to a state.
Use this tool online →Use exact identifiers first, then review similar names and addresses. Shared phone numbers and brands can indicate a group, but they are not enough on their own to merge legal organizations.
Open-source option: OpenRefine. Its clustering views help manual review, but automated fuzzy merges can remove legitimate locations.
Use this tool online →Prioritize records using signals relevant to the offer: location count, usable contact fields, geography, and record recency. Keep the reason for each ranking visible, then verify high-priority clinics against a current primary source.
Open-source option: sqlite-utils. It makes a local dataset easy to query; it does not determine buyer fit or verify that a clinic is open.

Yes. CMS publishes NPPES data for public use. You still need to filter, normalize, deduplicate, and verify records for your specific purpose.
No. An active NPI record is a useful official signal, not proof that a location is open or ready to buy. Verify priority records before outreach.
