California recorded 5 NPI deactivations for nurses during the week of March 9-15, 2026. This total represents 8% of all national nurse deactivations for the period. All 5 of these deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state's nursing sector this week.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
Among the deactivated NPIs, the Registered Nurse (163W00000X) taxonomy accounted for 2 records, or 40% of the total. Other specific nursing taxonomies each had 1 deactivation, including Nurse Anesthetist (367500000X), Public Health/Community Health Nurse (163WP0808X), and School Nurse (163WP0809X). This distribution indicates a variety of nursing specialties among the deactivated records. Geographically, the deactivations were spread across multiple cities, with Eureka, Anaheim, Temecula, Fresno, and San Diego each recording 1 deactivation, suggesting no particular regional concentration.
Understanding Deactivation Data
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry. These changes do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured prior to deactivation to provide context on these records.
