Florida recorded 8 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 4% of the national total. All 8 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs affected during the period of May 11-17, 2026. This administrative update reflects changes in the NPI registry for individual behavioral health professionals across the state.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
A closer look at the deactivated NPIs reveals that Clinical Social Workers and Mental Health Counselors each represented 3 deactivations, making up 38% of the total for each group. Additionally, one Case Manager/Care Coordinator and one BCBA had their NPIs deactivated, each contributing 13% to the week's total. This distribution highlights a concentration among licensed therapists in the state's behavioral health sector.
Geographically, Bradenton saw the highest number of deactivations with 2 instances. Other cities with one deactivation each included New Port Richey, Jacksonville, Lakeland, and Palm Beach Gardens. This pattern suggests a dispersed set of administrative changes rather than a concentrated event in any single metropolitan area, with Bradenton being a slight exception.
These NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry and do not by themselves indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
