Credential and Location Insights

Each of these specialties accounted for 2 deactivations, representing 13% of the individual total. Other specialties, including Family Medicine (207Q00000X) and Emergency Medicine (207Y00000X), each saw 1 deactivation, making up 6% of the individual total. Geographically, the city of New York recorded the highest number of deactivations with 3 providers. Other cities with deactivations included Troy, Dansville, Stony Brook, and Hartsdale, each reporting 1 deactivation. This distribution suggests deactivations are spread across various urban and suburban areas within the state, with a notable concentration in the largest metropolitan center.
Understanding NPI Deactivations
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry. This change does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing, as CMS scrubs name and address data from most deactivated records, though Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured prior to deactivation.
