Ohio recorded 5 physician NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 2% of the national total. All 5 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period. This data reflects administrative updates in the federal NPPES registry for the week of May 18-24, 2026.
Specialty and Geographic Spread
The deactivated NPIs spanned 5 distinct medical specialties, with one NPI each from Otolaryngology, Emergency Medicine, Neuroradiology, Family Medicine, and Orthopaedic Surgery. Similarly, the deactivations were geographically distributed across 5 different cities: CHARDON, KETTERING, CLEVELAND, CINCINNATI, and FINDLAY. This pattern indicates no single concentration by specialty or city among the NPIs deactivated in Ohio this week.
An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry. It does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation, providing historical context for these records.
