During the week of March 16-22, 2026, Missouri recorded 6 physician NPI deactivations, representing 3% of the national total. All 6 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs shows that the credential 207Q00000X was most frequently observed, accounting for 3 of the deactivations, or 50% of the total. Other credentials, specifically 207RG0100X, 208600000X, and 2085R0204X, each represented 1 deactivation, making up 17% each of the week's total. The geographic distribution of these deactivations was spread across multiple cities. Saint Joseph, Saint Louis, Rolla, Houston, and Maysville each recorded one NPI deactivation. This pattern indicates no particular concentration of deactivations in a single metropolitan or rural area within Missouri for this reporting period.
Understanding NPI Deactivations
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry. Such a change does not inherently signify a license action against a provider or confirm that a provider has ceased practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured prior to deactivation for these records.
