Illinois recorded 6 physician NPI deactivations this week, representing 3% of the national total for the period of May 4-10, 2026. All 6 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this timeframe. This data provides a snapshot of administrative changes within the physician workforce in Illinois.
Specialty and Geographic Distribution
Among the deactivated NPIs, Psychiatry was the most represented specialty, with 2 providers, accounting for 33% of the total. Other specialties each saw 1 deactivation, including Pulmonary Disease, Cardiovascular Disease, Surgery, and Pediatrics, each representing 17% of the total deactivations. Geographically, Chicago and Park Ridge each recorded 2 deactivations. Schaumburg and Northfield each had 1 deactivation. This distribution indicates that deactivations occurred across a range of medical specialties and were observed in both major urban and suburban areas within Illinois.
It is important to note that NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate that a provider has ceased practicing or that a license action has occurred. Hipa.ai retains a name cache for these records, captured before deactivation.
