California recorded 37 behavioral health provider deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 19% of the national total. The records include 30 individuals and 7 organizations. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credential mix
Mental Health Counselor and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor were the leading retired taxonomies, with 6 records each, or 16% apiece. Case Manager/Care Coordinator and Clinical Social Worker followed with 4 records each, while RBT accounted for 3. The concentration across counseling, care coordination and social work categories indicates that the week’s records span several behavioral health roles rather than a single professional group.
City distribution
Ukiah led the city totals with 7 deactivations. Sacramento recorded 3, while Irvine, Los Angeles and Modesto each recorded 2. Ukiah’s total includes the organization records associated with the County of Mendocino, making the city the clearest geographic concentration in this week’s California snapshot. The remaining leading cities were more dispersed, with no other listed city reaching Ukiah’s count.
These figures describe changes in federal NPI registry status for the week and should not be read as a direct measure of California’s active behavioral health workforce or service availability.
