Maryland recorded 8 physician NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 4% of the national total. This total included 6 individual providers and 2 organizations.
Credential and Geographic Trends
Among the deactivated NPIs, the taxonomy code 2084N0400X was associated with two deactivations, representing 25% of the week's total. Four other taxonomy codes each accounted for one deactivation, or 13% of the total: 207R00000X, 207P00000X, 207V00000X, and 208000000X. Geographically, Baltimore recorded two deactivations. Single deactivations were noted in Columbia, Frederick, Rockville, and Huntingtown. This distribution of deactivations across various specialties and locations does not indicate a specific concentration within a single area or medical field in Maryland this week.
Context of Deactivations
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry. These updates do not inherently signify a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing. While CMS typically scrubs name, address, and taxonomy from most deactivated records, Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured prior to deactivation for these records, providing ongoing transparency into workforce changes.
