Arizona recorded 5 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 3 through August 9, 2026, accounting for 4% of the national total. All five records were individuals, while no organizations were listed among the deactivations.
Credentials and Cities
The deactivated records represented five credentials, each appearing once: Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Anesthesiology, Diagnostic Radiology, Emergency Medicine and General Practice. Phoenix accounted for 3 deactivations, while Glendale and Cottonwood each accounted for 1. The city distribution shows activity concentrated in Phoenix, but the credential distribution does not point to a single specialty pattern.
Registry Context
NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or confirm that a physician has stopped practicing. The weekly Arizona data therefore describes registry activity rather than a verified change in the state’s active physician workforce.
