Florida saw 13 physician NPI deactivations in the week of June 1-7, 2026, representing 7% of the national total. All 13 deactivations were for individual physicians, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period.
Deactivation Trends
Among the deactivated NPIs, Ophthalmology was the most frequent specialty, accounting for 2 individuals, representing 15% of the state's total. Orthopaedic Surgery, Surgery, Anesthesiology, and Emergency Medicine each contributed 1 deactivation to the week's total. Geographically, Melbourne, Miami, and Fort Myers each recorded 2 deactivations. Other cities with individual deactivations included Jacksonville, Ocala, Niceville, Miami Beach, Tampa, Miramar, and Palm Harbor, indicating a broad distribution of administrative changes across Florida's urban and regional areas rather than a single concentrated point.
Understanding NPI Changes
An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry. This status change does not inherently indicate a license action against a provider or that a provider has stopped practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation, as CMS scrubs name and address information from most deactivated records.
