Florida recorded 20 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of September 7 through September 13, representing 11% of the national total. The records include 15 individuals and 5 organizations, showing that individual records made up most of the state’s activity.
Credentials and Taxonomies
Orthopaedic Surgery and Pediatrics were the most frequently listed retired taxonomies, with 3 records each. Otolaryngology and Cardiovascular Disease followed with 2 records each. Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgery appeared once among the leading categories. The distribution spans surgical, pediatric and medical specialties rather than pointing to a single dominant clinical area.
City Distribution
Melbourne and Hollywood each had 3 deactivations, while Miami had 2. Melbourne Beach and Merritt Island each had one record among the listed leading cities. The Melbourne-area entries include organization records associated with Health First Medical Group, while the Hollywood records include individual providers. The city pattern therefore shows some geographic clustering, but the available data does not establish a broader workforce trend or explain why the records were deactivated.
These figures describe administrative changes in the federal NPI registry and should not, by themselves, be read as confirmation that any provider has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
