Arizona recorded 6 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations during the 2026-W27 period, from June 29 to July 5, 2026. This total represents 3% of the national deactivations for the behavioral health category this week. The deactivations were split between 2 individual providers and 4 organizations, indicating a higher proportion of organizational NPI status changes in the state.
Credential and Geographic Focus
Among the deactivated NPIs, the "Community/Behavioral Health Agency" taxonomy was most prominent, accounting for 3 deactivations, or 50% of the state's total. Other taxonomies included one "Professional Counselor," one "Mental Health Counselor," and one "Clinical Social Worker," each contributing 17% of the deactivations. Geographically, deactivations were evenly split between two major urban centers: Mesa and Phoenix each recorded 3 deactivations. This concentration in key metropolitan areas, particularly involving community health agencies, highlights specific administrative changes within the state's larger behavioral health infrastructure.
Understanding NPI Status Changes
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation signifies an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry. This change does not inherently indicate a license action against a provider or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
