Florida recorded 6 NPI deactivations for nurses this week, representing 8% of the national total. This total included 5 individual providers and 1 organization. NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry, which tracks healthcare providers nationwide. These updates reflect changes in a provider's NPI record status.
Credential and Geographic Overview
The deactivated NPIs spanned five distinct nursing taxonomies, with each specific code accounting for one instance of deactivation. These included 363LP0200X, 363LA2200X, 367500000X, 363L00000X, and 163WP0808X. This variety suggests that no single, dominant nursing specialty or sub-specialty was disproportionately affected during this period. Geographically, the deactivations were distributed across five different cities in Florida: Belle Glade, Tampa, Miami, Bonita Springs, and Middleburg. Each of these cities saw one NPI deactivation, indicating a broad, rather than concentrated, pattern across the state for this reporting period.
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative update in the NPPES registry. This status change does not inherently indicate a license action against a provider or that a provider has ceased practicing in the state. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation, providing historical context for these records even after CMS scrubs name and address information from deactivated NPIs.
