Geographic Trends
Geographically, Reston recorded the highest number of deactivations with 2 providers. Richmond, Colonial Heights, Norfolk, and Arlington each had 1 deactivation.

These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes in the NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a cessation of practice or license action for individual providers.
