Massachusetts recorded 6 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 3% of the national total for the category. All 6 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs affected during the period of April 27 to May 3, 2026.
Provider Roles
Among the deactivated NPIs, Clinical Social Workers represented the largest group, with 3 of the 6 deactivations, or 50% of the total. The remaining deactivations included one RBT, one Mental Health Counselor, and one Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor, each making up 17% of the week's total.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, Springfield saw 2 deactivations, the highest concentration for any single city. Marlborough, Northampton, Lawrence, and New Bedford each recorded 1 deactivation. This localized concentration in Springfield suggests a specific administrative change or provider movement within that area.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate that a provider has ceased practice or undergone a license action.
