Florida recorded 13 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry update for the week of August 17 through August 23, representing 8% of the national total. The records include 4 individuals and 9 organizations. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not, by itself, establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credential Breakdown
Case Management Agency was the leading retired taxonomy, with 6 records, or 46% of Florida’s deactivations. Clinic/Center followed with 3 records, or 23%. Case Manager/Care Coordinator, RBT and Mental Health Counselor each accounted for 1 record, or 8%. The distribution shows that organizations classified as case management agencies made up the largest segment of this week’s records, while the remaining activity was spread across clinic and individual behavioral health categories.
Geographic Distribution
West Palm Beach and Pinellas Park each recorded 2 deactivations. St. Petersburg, Kissimmee and Merritt Island each had 1. The city pattern is dispersed rather than concentrated in a single location, although the two leading cities together account for 4 records. Several organization records appear across multiple Florida cities, so city counts describe NPI locations and do not necessarily represent distinct provider systems or changes in local service capacity.
These figures describe registry deactivation activity for the specified week, not a direct measure of Florida’s active behavioral health workforce or patient access.
