Illinois recorded 10 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, representing 5% of the national total for the period of April 27 to May 3, 2026. All 10 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this timeframe. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credential Breakdown
Among the deactivated NPIs, Clinical Social Workers represented the largest group, with 3 deactivations, making up 30% of the state's total for the week. Mental Health Counselors followed with 2 deactivations, accounting for 20% of the total. Psychologists, Specialists, and BCBAs each saw 1 deactivation, each contributing 10% to the weekly total. The remaining deactivations were spread across other behavioral health taxonomies.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, the deactivations were dispersed across various communities. The top five cities listed—Downers Grove, Lemont, Park Ridge, Evanston, and Chicago—each recorded a single deactivation. This pattern suggests that deactivations were spread rather than concentrated in a specific urban center during this reporting period.
Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation, providing historical context for these administrative changes.
