Ohio recorded 8 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations during the week of May 11-17, 2026, representing 4% of the national total for this category. All 8 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs affected in the state during this period.
Deactivation Trends by Credential
Among the deactivated NPIs, specific credential types showed varying numbers. "Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor" and "Professional Counselor" each accounted for 2 deactivations, making up 25% of the total individually. Other credential types, including "Specialist," "Community/Behavioral Health Agency," and "Case Manager/Care Coordinator," each saw 1 deactivation, each representing 13% of the total. This indicates a distribution across several distinct behavioral health roles.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, the deactivations were spread across multiple urban centers. Akron, Cincinnati, and Dayton each recorded 2 deactivations. Additionally, Reynoldsburg and Cleveland each had 1 deactivation. This pattern suggests that the NPI deactivations were not concentrated in a single city or region within Ohio this week.
It is important to note that NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practice.
