Florida recorded 12 NPI deactivations among Behavioral Health Providers between June 15 and June 21, 2026. This figure represents 7% of the national total for this category during the specified week. The deactivations included 11 individual providers and 1 organization. It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not, by itself, indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing.
Credential and Geographic Trends
An examination of the deactivated NPIs reveals specific credential trends within the behavioral health sector. Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), who often provide direct therapy under supervision, accounted for the largest portion, with 5 deactivations, representing 42% of the total. Speech-Language Pathologists, who address communication and swallowing disorders, followed with 4 deactivations, or 33%. The remaining deactivations included 1 Specialist, 1 Psychologist, and 1 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Geographically, the deactivations were distributed across the state, with cities such as Miami, Panama City, Cantonment, Oldsmar, and West Palm Beach each recording 1 deactivation, indicating no single concentrated area for these administrative changes.
These data points offer insight into shifts within Florida's behavioral health provider landscape as reflected in the NPI registry.
