Michigan saw 10 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, representing 6% of the national total. All 10 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizations affected in the period from March 9 to March 15, 2026.
Credential Trends
The majority of deactivations, 70% or 7 providers, were for Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), indicating a notable administrative change within this specific segment of the behavioral health workforce. Pastoral Counselors accounted for 20% of deactivations with 2 providers, while Addiction Counselors made up the remaining 10% with 1 provider. This distribution points to administrative shifts occurring primarily among RBTs in Michigan this week.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, Farmington Hills recorded the highest number of deactivations with 2 providers. Other cities reporting single deactivations included Plymouth, Okemos, Rochester Hills, and Southfield. This spread across several cities suggests that the deactivations are not localized to a single metropolitan area but rather distributed across different communities within Michigan.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry. Such changes do not by themselves indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing.
