Pennsylvania recorded 11 NPI deactivations among Behavioral Health Providers during the week of March 16-22, 2026. This figure represents 6% of the national total for this category. The deactivations included 9 individual practitioners and 2 organizational entities.
Taxonomy and Geographic Trends
Among the individual NPIs deactivated, Addiction Counselors and Mental Health Counselors were the most prominent taxonomies, each accounting for 4 providers. These two categories collectively represented 72% of all behavioral health deactivations in Pennsylvania this week. Other specific individual taxonomies included one Psychologist and one Speech-Language Pathologist, each with 1 deactivation. The organizational deactivations included one Clinic/Center and one Addiction Counselor. Geographically, Pittsburgh registered 2 deactivations, the highest count for any single city. Other cities with single deactivations included Sellersville, West Reading, Elizabethville, and Plymouth Meeting. This distribution suggests no significant geographic concentration of deactivations within the state during this period, but rather a dispersed pattern across various communities.
These NPI deactivations are administrative status changes and do not inherently indicate that a provider has ceased practice or faced license action, reflecting routine updates to the federal NPPES registry for Pennsylvania's behavioral health workforce.
