Colorado recorded 7 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of September 7 through September 13, 2026, representing 4% of the national total. All seven records were for individuals; the update lists 0 organizations. The records reflect administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry and do not, by themselves, establish that a physician has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credentials
The retired credential categories were broadly distributed. Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Developmental - Behavioral Pediatrics and Psychiatry each accounted for 1 record, or 14% of Colorado’s physician deactivations. The remaining records were classified under Thoracic Surgery (Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery) and General Practice. No single credential category dominated the update, so the mix does not point to a concentrated change in one specialty based on these records alone.
Colorado Cities
Thornton, Pueblo, Wheat Ridge, Aurora and Boulder each had 1 deactivation. The other two records were listed in Highlands Ranch and Steamboat Springs. The city distribution spans several Colorado communities rather than clustering in one location, although the weekly count is limited. Taken together, the records show statewide geographic spread across individual physician NPIs, not a measure of local workforce size, availability or patient access.
This week’s Colorado physician data describes registry deactivation activity across seven individual records and should be interpreted as an administrative snapshot rather than a provider-practice census.
