Geographically, San Bernardino recorded the highest number of deactivations with 4 entries. San Diego, Oakland, Los Angeles, and Yucca Valley each had 2 deactivations. The concentration of deactivations in San Bernardino, particularly with several 'Community/Behavioral Health Agency' NPIs, suggests a localized administrative change impacting organizational records in that area.
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.
