This figure represents 6% of the national total for behavioral health deactivations in the period.

Among the deactivated NPIs, 'Community/Behavioral Health Org' was the most frequent taxonomy, accounting for 4 deactivations, or 40% of the total. 'RBT' followed with 2 deactivations. 'Clinical Social Worker,' 'Mental Health Counselor,' and 'Addiction Counselor' each saw 1 deactivation. Geographically, Baltimore recorded the highest number of deactivations with 3 instances, while Fort Washington had 2 deactivations. The concentration of deactivations in Baltimore and Fort Washington may point to localized administrative updates impacting multiple entities or individuals in those areas.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a cessation of practice or specific license actions for the providers involved.
