Florida recorded 12 physician NPI deactivations between May 11 and May 17, 2026, representing 7% of the national total for the week. All 12 deactivations pertained to individual providers, with no organizational NPIs affected during this period.
Specialty Trends
The deactivated NPIs spanned several medical specialties. Internal Medicine accounted for the largest share, with 3 providers, representing 25% of the state's total deactivations for the week. Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine each saw 2 deactivations, each making up 17% of the total. Obstetrics & Gynecology and Family Medicine each had 1 deactivation, contributing 8% individually to the week's figures.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, deactivations were noted across multiple Florida cities. Venice and Miami each recorded 2 deactivations. Other cities with single deactivations included Riverview, Hollywood, and Fort Lauderdale. This distribution indicates deactivations occurred in both larger metropolitan areas and smaller communities across the state, rather than being concentrated in a single location.
These NPI deactivations are administrative updates within the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently signify that a provider has ceased practice or faced a license action.
