Pennsylvania registered 10 physician NPI deactivations during the week of May 11-17, 2026. This figure represents 6% of the national total for physician deactivations in the same period. All 10 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state.
Specialty and Geographic Distribution
Internal Medicine represented the largest share of deactivated NPIs, with 4 providers, accounting for 40% of the total. Other specialties each seeing 1 deactivation included Family Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Emergency Medicine, and Gynecology. Geographically, Philadelphia recorded the highest number of deactivations with 2 physicians. Single deactivations were noted in Johnstown, Annville, Seneca, and Harrisburg. This distribution suggests that while Philadelphia had a slightly higher count, the overall pattern of deactivations was spread across various locations in Pennsylvania, without a strong clustering in any single area beyond the state's largest city.
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry. They do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing. These updates offer a view into changes in the registered provider workforce within Pennsylvania.
