Specialty and Geographic Trends
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs by specialty shows Orthopaedic Surgery as the most frequently represented, with 3 records, comprising 18% of the state's total deactivations this week. Family Medicine, General Practice, and Internal Medicine each accounted for 2 deactivations, representing 12% each of the total. Geographically, Orlando registered the highest number of deactivations with 3 entries. Notably, all three Orlando deactivations were organizational NPIs associated with Orthopaedic Surgery. Other cities with multiple deactivations included Gainesville, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton, each with 2 records.
Registry Context
It is important to note that 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 ceased practicing. While CMS typically scrubs name and address data from deactivated records, Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured prior to deactivation to maintain historical context for workforce analysis.
