Credential and Geographic Insights
Among the individual providers, Clinical Social Workers accounted for the majority of deactivations, with 3 professionals in this category, representing 60% of the state's total behavioral health deactivations. Additionally, 1 Speech-Language Pathologist had their NPI deactivated, making up 20% of the total. The single organizational deactivation was for a Clinic/Center, also comprising 20%. Geographically, the deactivations were spread across Virginia, with one each recorded in Springfield, Gainesville, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Newport News. This broad distribution across different municipalities suggests no specific regional concentration for these particular administrative changes within the state.
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry. Such changes do not inherently indicate a provider has ceased practicing, faced license actions, or reflect specific changes in their clinical operations, but rather an update to their NPI record within the national database.
