Massachusetts recorded 7 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 4% of the national total. All 7 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period.
Credential Breakdown
Among the deactivated NPIs, Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Clinical Social Workers each represented 2 deactivations, making up 29% of the total for each credential. Mental Health Counselors, Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselors, and Psychologists each saw 1 deactivation, each comprising 14% of the total. This distribution indicates deactivations across various behavioral health specialties.
Geographic Distribution
The deactivations were distributed across several locations in Massachusetts, with no single city showing a concentration of more than 1 deactivation. Cities listed include Brookline, Waltham, New Bedford, South Orleans, and Dedham, suggesting a dispersed pattern rather than a localized trend.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a cessation of practice or a license action for any specific provider.
