During the week of June 15-21, 2026, Georgia recorded 8 NPI deactivations among behavioral health providers. This total represents 4% of national deactivations in this category for the period. The deactivations included 7 individual providers and 1 organization, reflecting administrative status changes within the federal registry.
Credential Breakdown
Professional Counselors accounted for 4 deactivations, representing 50% of the total for the week. Clinical Social Workers followed with 2 deactivations, making up 25%. Additionally, one Case Manager/Care Coordinator and one Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor were deactivated, each contributing 13% to the weekly total. These figures highlight the specific behavioral health provider types experiencing NPI status changes in Georgia.
Geographic Distribution
The deactivations were observed across multiple cities, with no single geographic concentration. Cities such as TIGER, ATLANTA, DECATUR, MACON, and JONESBORO each recorded one NPI deactivation. This dispersed pattern suggests that the administrative status changes were not localized to a particular urban or rural area within Georgia during this period.
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
