Florida's behavioral health sector recorded 8 NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 4% of the national total. These administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry included 7 individual providers and 1 organization. An NPI deactivation does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practice.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
The most frequent credential among the deactivated NPIs was 'Specialist/Technologist', with 3 instances, representing 38% of the total. 'Mental Health Counselor' and 'Psychologist' each accounted for 2 deactivations, making up 25% of the total respectively. Furthermore, 1 'Clinical Social Worker' NPI was deactivated, which constituted 13% of the week's total. Geographically, the deactivations were distributed across various Florida cities, with Hollywood, Brandon, Miami, Naples, and Melbourne each recording 1 deactivation. This broad geographic spread suggests no specific regional concentration for these administrative updates.
These NPI deactivations reflect changes in the federal registry, for which Hipa.ai retains name caches from public CMS files captured before deactivation, offering a historical perspective on these records.
