New Jersey recorded 9 physician NPI deactivations this week, representing 5% of the national total. All 9 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs affected during the period of April 27 to May 3, 2026. These administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry reflect updates to provider status.
Specialty Trends
Among the deactivated NPIs, Family Medicine was the most frequently observed specialty, accounting for 2 individuals. Other specialties with 1 deactivation each included Clinical Pharmacology, Procedural Dermatology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Ophthalmology. This distribution across various medical fields suggests a broad range of administrative updates rather than a concentration in a single area of practice.
Geographic Distribution
The deactivations were geographically dispersed across New Jersey. Cities such as Clifton, Saddle Brook, New Brunswick, Sewell, and Wharton each recorded 1 NPI deactivation. This pattern indicates that the administrative status changes were not concentrated in any specific urban or regional hub within the state during this weekly reporting period.
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not inherently 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.
