Deactivation Trends by Credential and Location
Analysis of the deactivated NPIs reveals that 'Community/Behavioral Health Org' was the most common taxonomy, representing 3 deactivations, or 38% of the state's total. Clinical Social Workers and Specialists/Technologists each accounted for 2 deactivations, making up 25% each. One Acupuncturist NPI was also deactivated, comprising 13% of the total. Geographically, Bridgewater and Englewood each saw 2 deactivations. Other cities with single deactivations included Linden, New Brunswick, and Newark. The multiple deactivations linked to 'APLUSCARE LLC' across Bridgewater and New Brunswick suggest administrative updates for a single organizational entity.
Understanding NPI Deactivations
It is important to note that NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry. They do not, by themselves, indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation for these records.
