Arizona recorded 5 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 31 through Sept. 6, 2026, representing 3% of the national total. The records include 4 individuals and 1 organization. The update reflects administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credentials and Locations
The deactivated records span 5 physician taxonomies, with 1 record each in Diagnostic Radiology, Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Allergy & Immunology. Each category accounts for 20% of Arizona’s total, so no single specialty dominates this week’s entries. The city distribution is similarly limited: Scottsdale accounts for 2 records, while Yuma, Tempe and Phoenix each account for 1. The concentration in Scottsdale represents the largest city grouping in this update, but the small number of records provides limited evidence of a broader geographic pattern.
Registry Context
The individual records are associated with Scottsdale, Yuma and Tempe, while the organization record is associated with Phoenix. CMS generally removes names, addresses and taxonomy information from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation. That retained information supports description of the registry entries but does not confirm current employment, practice location, patient volume or availability of services.
Arizona’s physician deactivations this week comprise a small, evenly distributed set of specialty records and should be read as an administrative snapshot rather than a direct measure of the state’s active workforce.
