Georgia recorded 5 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of September 7 through September 13, 2026, representing 3% of the national total. The records include 4 individuals and 1 organization. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not by itself establish that a physician has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credential Mix
Psychiatry was the most common taxonomy, with 2 deactivations. Internal Medicine, General Practice and Anesthesiology each accounted for 1. The provider records include M.D. or MD credentials, including 1 listing marked “MD RETIRED,” but the registry data does not identify whether the other deactivations reflected retirement, relocation, organizational changes or other administrative circumstances.
Georgia Locations
Atlanta had 2 deactivations, while Decatur, Monroe and Augusta each had 1. The distribution places 2 records in Atlanta and 3 across other listed cities, rather than showing a concentration in a single Georgia market. One of the Monroe records was an organization; the remaining records were individuals. The location counts describe where the NPI records were listed, not the full geographic reach of the practices or the availability of services.
These records provide a weekly view of NPI status changes in Georgia’s Physicians segment, not a complete measure of the state’s active physician workforce.
