Family Medicine followed with 2 deactivations, making up 15% of the total. Other specialties, including Geriatric Medicine (Internal Medicine) and Maternal & Fetal Medicine, each had 1 deactivation.

Geographic Distribution
Geographically, Jacksonville and Miami each saw 2 physician NPI deactivations. Other cities with single deactivations included Marianna, Port Charlotte, and Milton. The concentration in these urban areas reflects the highest number of NPI status changes.
