Pennsylvania recorded 5 physician NPI deactivations in the federal NPPES registry between March 9 and March 15, 2026. This figure accounts for 3% of all physician NPI deactivations observed nationally during the week. All 5 deactivated records were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs affected in Pennsylvania during this period.
Specialty and Geographic Distribution
Among the deactivated NPIs, the taxonomy code 207ZP0102X was the most frequent, associated with 2 deactivations, which represents 40% of the total. This taxonomy code is broadly categorized under physician specialties. The remaining deactivations were distributed among three other distinct taxonomy codes: 207P00000X, 207RC0000X, and 207L00000X, each accounting for 1 deactivation or 20% of the weekly total. These codes cover various other physician practice areas. The deactivations were geographically dispersed across the state, with 1 NPI deactivation recorded in each of Lansdale, Darby, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Lehighton. This wide distribution across five distinct cities suggests no particular regional concentration for this week's administrative NPI changes.
It is important to note that NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
