New York recorded 13 NPI deactivations among behavioral health providers this week, accounting for 7% of the national total. Of these, 12 were individual providers and 1 was an organization. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry.

The deactivations spanned several behavioral health disciplines. Mental Health Counselors and Clinical Social Workers each saw 3 NPI deactivations, with each specialty representing 23% of the state's total for the week. Addiction Counselors followed with 2 deactivations, making up 15%. Other specialties, including Speech-Language Pathologist and Counselor, each had 1 deactivation, reflecting a diverse range of roles among the deactivated NPIs.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, the city of NEW YORK recorded the highest number of deactivations with 3 instances. Other cities, including MIDDLE ISLAND, MAMARONECK, GENEVA, and MAMAMORECK, each saw 1 deactivation.

It is important to note that an NPI deactivation does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
