California recorded 23 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations in the federal NPPES registry this week, representing 14% of the national total for the period of June 22-28, 2026. All deactivations were associated with individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this timeframe.
Credential Breakdown
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs reveals a distribution across several behavioral health specialties. Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), Clinical Social Workers, and Specialists each accounted for 4 deactivations, making up 17% of the total. Counselors followed with 3 deactivations, representing 13%. Additionally, Case Manager/Care Coordinators saw 2 deactivations. This spread indicates deactivations across various roles within the behavioral health sector.
Geographic Distribution of Deactivations
Geographically, NPI deactivations were observed in multiple California cities. San Diego, Ventura, and San Francisco each recorded 2 deactivations. Other cities such as Pacoima and Campbell each had 1 deactivation. The data does not suggest a significant concentration of deactivations in any single metropolitan area or region within the state.
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal registry and does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing.
