New Jersey recorded 10 physician NPI deactivations this week, representing 5% of the national total for physicians. All 10 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizations affected during the period of May 25-31, 2026.
Specialty and Geographic Distribution
Among the deactivated NPIs, Psychiatry, Surgery, and Cardiovascular Disease each accounted for 2 deactivations, making up 20% each of the state's total. Neurological Surgery and Pediatrics each saw 1 deactivation, or 10% each. Geographically, Cherry Hill recorded the highest number of deactivations for a single city, with 2 providers. Other cities with individual deactivations included Fanwood, Brick, Neptune, and Haddon Heights. This distribution across specialties and cities does not suggest a concentrated trend in any single area.
Understanding Deactivation Data
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry. Such changes do not inherently indicate a cessation of practice or a license action for any specific provider.
