Arizona recorded 5 behavioral health provider deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 3% of the national total. The records include 4 individuals and 1 organization. Deactivations are administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry and do not by themselves indicate a license action or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials
Mental Health Counselor was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 2 records, or 40% of the state total. Speech-Language Pathologist, Specialist and Community/Behavioral Health Agency each accounted for 1 record, or 20%. The credential mix spans individual clinical roles and an organizational behavioral health agency, rather than clustering in one provider type.
Geographic Distribution
Phoenix had 3 deactivations, while Peoria and Sun City each had 1. Phoenix therefore accounted for the largest city-level share of the Arizona records, but the small statewide count limits what can be inferred about geographic concentration. The records were distributed across three cities and included both individual and organizational entries.
These figures describe NPI registry status changes for Arizona behavioral health providers during the reporting week, not a direct measure of current workforce availability or service capacity.
