Ohio recorded 7 physician NPI deactivations this week, representing 4% of the national total. All 7 deactivations were for individual physicians, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period.
Deactivation Trends by Specialty
The most frequent credential among the deactivated NPIs was 207V00000X (Internal Medicine), accounting for 2 deactivations, or 29% of the total. Other specialties, including 207RG0100X (General Practice), 2085R0202X (Radiology, Diagnostic), 207RX0202X (Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease), and 208600000X (Surgery), each saw 1 deactivation, each representing 14% of the total. This indicates deactivations across a range of medical fields.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, Cincinnati and Cleveland each recorded 2 NPI deactivations. Other cities with single deactivations included Dayton, Canton, and Westlake. This distribution suggests deactivations occurred across multiple urban centers within Ohio, rather than concentrating in one specific area.
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry and do not by themselves indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
