Florida recorded 9 physician NPI deactivations this week, representing 6% of the national total for physicians. All 9 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated during this period.
Specialty Deactivations
Among the deactivated NPIs, Obstetrics & Gynecology and Family Medicine each accounted for 2 individuals, representing 22% of the total for each specialty. Other specialties, including Hospitalist, Cardiovascular Disease, Adult Medicine, Otolaryngology, and Internal Medicine, each saw one deactivation. This week's data shows a distribution across various medical fields rather than a concentration in a single specialty.
Geographic Distribution
The deactivations were broadly distributed across Florida, with no single city showing multiple deactivations. Cities including Titusville, Lantana, Brandon, Vero Beach, Tallahassee, Port Charlotte, Miami, Sebastian, and Naples each recorded one deactivation. This wide geographical spread indicates that the deactivations were not concentrated in any particular urban or regional area this week.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes in the NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a provider has ceased practice or faced license action.
