Deactivation Trends by Specialty and Location
The most frequent deactivation was for Community/Behavioral Health Agencies, accounting for 8 records, or 23% of the state's total. This category notably included multiple NPIs associated with a single organizational entity across several locations. Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) followed with 6 deactivations, making up 17% of the total. Mental Health Counselors saw 5 deactivations, or 14%, while Clinical Social Workers accounted for 4 deactivations (11%). Counselors also saw 3 deactivations (9%).
Geographically, deactivations were observed across various cities. San Jose and San Diego each recorded 3 deactivations, indicating activity in major metropolitan areas. Gilroy, Morgan Hill, and Monrovia each saw 2 deactivations, suggesting some localized administrative changes within the state.
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practice. Monitoring these changes provides insight into the dynamic nature of the behavioral health provider landscape in California.
