Maryland recorded 5 physician NPI deactivations during the week of April 27 to May 3, 2026. This total represents 3% of all physician deactivations nationally for the period. All 5 deactivations were for individual physicians, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state this week.
Specialty Distribution
The deactivations were distributed across five distinct medical specialties. Gastroenterology, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, and Anesthesiology each accounted for one deactivation. Each of these specialties represented 20% of the total physician deactivations in Maryland for the week, indicating no single specialty saw a concentrated number of administrative changes.
Geographic Spread
Geographically, the deactivations were also spread across Maryland. Baltimore, Cumberland, Easton, Towson, and Bethesda each recorded one deactivation. This distribution suggests that the administrative NPI status changes were not concentrated in any particular urban or regional area of the state this week.
NPI deactivations are administrative updates in the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a provider has ceased practice, retired, or faced a license action.
