Arizona registered 5 physician NPI deactivations during the week of June 1-7, 2026. This figure represents 3% of the national total for physician deactivations reported in the NPPES registry this week. All 5 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs undergoing this administrative status change in the state.
Specialty and Geographic Distribution
Analysis of the deactivated NPIs reveals a distribution across several medical specialties. Radiation Oncology accounted for 2 physicians, representing 40% of the week's total deactivations in Arizona. Other specialties, each with one deactivation, included Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism; Medical Microbiology; and Family Medicine. Geographically, Tucson recorded 2 deactivations, making it the city with the highest number for the period. Gilbert, Mesa, and Fort Defiance each had 1 deactivation. This spread suggests deactivations occurred across different regions and practice areas within the state.
An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry and does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation for these records.
