Colorado recorded 6 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 17 through August 23, representing 4% of the national total. All 6 records were for individuals, while organizations accounted for 0 deactivations. The update therefore reflects individual NPI status changes rather than deactivations assigned to physician organizations.
Credential Breakdown
Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine were the most frequently retired taxonomy categories, with 2 deactivations each. Psychiatry and Pediatrics each accounted for 1 deactivation. Together, the four listed categories cover all 6 records, with Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine comprising the largest categories in the Colorado update. The distribution spans acute care, primary care, behavioral health and pediatric practice areas rather than being concentrated in one specialty.
City Distribution
The listed leading cities were Colorado Springs, Delta, Arvada, Littleton and Aurora, with 1 deactivation in each. Grand Junction also appears among the individual records with 1 deactivation. The geographic pattern is dispersed across Colorado locations, and no city accounts for more than 1 record in the data. That spread does not identify a dominant local concentration or establish a change in physician availability in any of the named communities.
These figures describe administrative NPI deactivations for the reporting week and do not, by themselves, establish licensure action or whether a physician has stopped practicing.
