Florida recorded 7 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during week 2026-W38, covering September 14–20. The total represented 4% of the national total. Six records were for individuals and one was for an organization. Deactivation is an administrative registry status change; by itself, it does not establish a licensing action or whether a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials
Registered behavior technicians, or RBTs, were the largest credential group, with 3 records, or 43% of Florida’s total. Mental Health Counselors accounted for 2 records, or 29%. The remaining records were one Community/Behavioral Health Agency and one Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor, each representing 14%. The credential breakdown shows more RBT records than any other listed category, but the small weekly total limits what can be inferred about broader workforce patterns.
Locations
Fort Myers was the only city with more than one listed deactivation, with 2 records. Miami, Ponte Vedra Beach, Gainesville and Callaway each had one. Another record was in Miami Gardens, which appears separately from Miami in the registry data. The city distribution is therefore spread across several locations, with a modest concentration in Fort Myers rather than a broad geographic cluster. These counts describe registry records for the week, not local staffing levels or service availability.
The weekly figures provide a snapshot of Florida’s behavioral health NPI registry activity and should be read as administrative data, not a measure of providers leaving practice.
