Missouri recorded a total of 6 physician NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 3% of the national total. All 6 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period.
Credential Breakdown
Among the deactivated NPIs, Family Medicine was the most represented specialty, with 2 deactivations, making up 33% of the total. Other specialties each saw 1 deactivation, including Gastroenterology, Diagnostic Radiology, Plastic Surgery, and Internal Medicine. This distribution indicates a range of medical fields affected by these administrative changes.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, the deactivations were evenly distributed across three cities. Saint Louis, Sikeston, and Kansas City each recorded 2 deactivations. This suggests that the administrative updates are not concentrated in a single metropolitan area but reflect changes across different regions of the state.
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry. They do not inherently indicate a cessation of practice, a license action, or that a provider has stopped practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation.
