Maryland recorded 7 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations during the week of April 27 to May 3, 2026, representing 4% of the national total for the period. All 7 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs affected in the state this week.
Credential Trends
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs shows that Clinical Social Workers and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) each accounted for 3 deactivations. Both categories represent 43% of the total deactivations in Maryland's behavioral health sector this week. Additionally, one Professional Counselor NPI was deactivated, comprising 14% of the total. This distribution highlights administrative changes affecting multiple key behavioral health roles.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, the deactivations were distributed across several cities. Columbia and Lanham each saw 2 NPI deactivations. Cumberland, Rockville, and Frederick each recorded one deactivation. This spread across different urban and suburban areas suggests that the deactivations are not concentrated in a single location but reflect individual administrative updates across the state.
These NPI deactivations are 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.
