How the figures were made
This table gives size and volume. It does not rate a plan or a provider, and it is not a recommendation.
Schedule C lists a provider only when the plan paid it $5,000 or more. Only plans with 100 or more participants file Schedule C. A plan counts once for each provider that it names.
The counts come from the yearly files, so both years count the same way. A count can differ by a few plans from the count on the page of a provider, which uses the plans with a page. The page of a provider is at its own address.
