Credential and City Trends
Among the individual nurse NPI deactivations in Arizona, two were for Family Nurse Practitioners, representing 40% of the total. This was the most frequent credential type among the deactivations. Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Practitioner, and Registered Nurse each accounted for one deactivation, with each category representing 20% of the total for the week. The deactivations were distributed across several Arizona cities. Phoenix recorded two deactivations, indicating a concentration in the state's largest metropolitan area. Flagstaff, Tempe, and Kayenta each had one deactivation. This geographic spread reflects deactivations occurring in both urban and more rural settings within the state.
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry. They do not inherently indicate a provider has ceased practice, faced license action, or retired. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation, providing a historical record.
