California recorded 19 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Sept. 7-13, representing 10% of the national total. The records include 16 individuals and 3 organizations, so individual providers accounted for most of the state’s activity in the weekly file.
Credentials
Family Medicine was the most common listed taxonomy, with 4 records, or 21%. General Practice, Internal Medicine and Anesthesiology each had 2 records, or 11% apiece. Pediatric Adolescent Medicine appeared once, representing 5%. The credential mix spans primary care, hospital-based specialties and pediatrics, with Family Medicine the only category appearing more than twice.
City Distribution
The leading listed cities were Clovis, Anaheim, Fountain Valley, Torrance and Eureka, with one deactivation each. Because no city contributed more than one record among the cities identified in the summary, the listed activity was geographically dispersed rather than concentrated in a single location. The records also include providers in additional California cities, reflecting a statewide distribution in the underlying file.
These figures describe administrative NPI registry deactivations and do not by themselves establish a license action or confirm that any specific provider has stopped practicing.
