Florida recorded 10 physician NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 6% of the national total. All 10 deactivations were for individual physicians, with no organizational NPIs deactivated during this period. This data reflects administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry.
Specialty Deactivations
Among the deactivated NPIs, Family Medicine represented the largest share with 4 deactivations, or 40% of the total. Internal Medicine followed, accounting for 3 deactivations, which is 30%. Emergency Medicine, Ophthalmology, and Cardiovascular Disease each had 1 deactivation, each comprising 10% of the week's total.
Geographic Distribution
The deactivations were distributed across several locations in Florida. Homosassa, South Pasadena, Wauchula, Miami, and Tavernier each recorded 1 deactivation. This distribution suggests no specific geographic concentration for this week's administrative NPI changes within the state.
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.
