Arizona recorded 5 deactivations among Behavioral Health Providers in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 2% of the national total. The records include 4 individuals and 1 organization. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal registry and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials
Clinical Social Worker was the leading retired taxonomy, with 3 records, followed by RBT with 2 records. The credential distribution therefore centers on social work and registered behavior technician classifications in this week’s Arizona activity. These categories describe the taxonomies attached to the deactivated NPI records and should not be read as a measure of current staffing, caseloads or service availability.
Arizona Cities
Fountain Hills had the largest city count, with 2 deactivations. Tempe, Tucson and Phoenix each had 1. The concentration in Fountain Hills is limited to two records, while the other deactivations were distributed across three cities. That pattern shows a small geographic cluster alongside activity in multiple Arizona communities, rather than a broad concentration in one location. The update contains one organization record and four individual records, but the registry data alone does not explain the reason for any deactivation.
Overall, this week’s Arizona behavioral health deactivation data reflects a small set of administrative registry changes across two main taxonomies and four cities.
