During the week of May 11-17, 2026, Pennsylvania recorded 10 NPI deactivations among Behavioral Health Providers. These deactivations represent 5% of the national total for the category during this period. All 10 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state, indicating changes primarily among solo or small practice professionals.
Credential and Geographic Trends
Among the deactivated NPIs, 'Psychologist' was the most frequently observed taxonomy, accounting for 3 providers, or 30% of the total deactivations. Other specific taxonomies, including 'Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor', 'Mental Health Counselor', 'Specialist', and 'Counselor', each recorded 1 deactivation, representing 10% of the total individually. Geographically, the deactivations were spread across various cities. Lancaster, Huntingdon Valley, Exton, Sewickley, and Lebanon each registered 1 deactivation. This broad distribution across different specialties and locations indicates no single concentrated area or credential type dominated this week's deactivations.
NPI deactivations are an administrative status change in the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practice.
