Arkansas recorded 5 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, covering the period from June 29 to July 5, 2026. This activity represents 3% of the national total for behavioral health deactivations during the same timeframe. All 5 deactivations in Arkansas were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated during this specific week. These administrative status changes are tracked to monitor shifts in the provider landscape.
Credential and Geographic Patterns
Among the individual NPIs deactivated, 'Case Manager/Care Coordinator' was the most frequent taxonomy, accounting for 3 deactivations, which is 60% of the total. 'Clinical Social Worker' and 'Professional Counselor' each saw 1 deactivation, representing 20% of the deactivations respectively. Geographically, Hot Springs recorded 2 deactivations, indicating a localized concentration within the state. Pine Bluff, Texarkana, and Batesville each had 1 deactivation. This distribution shows deactivations occurring across various behavioral health roles and in several distinct locations within the state, rather than being confined to a single specialty or a highly concentrated urban area.
As an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry, an NPI deactivation does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
