Georgia recorded 6 physician NPI deactivations during the week of Sept. 14–20, 2026, accounting for 4% of the national total. All six records were for individuals; no organizations were listed. The figures describe administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry, not confirmed departures from practice. A deactivation does not by itself indicate a license action or establish that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials and Cities
The credential breakdown was spread across specialties. Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Diagnostic Radiology, Infectious Disease and Family Medicine each accounted for one record. Internal Medicine also appears among the individual records, but the registry’s top-credential summary does not list it among the leading categories. Atlanta had 3 deactivations, while Fort Stewart, Fort Oglethorpe and Riverdale had one each. Atlanta therefore accounted for half of the state total, but the small number of records and the distribution among several specialties and cities do not establish a broader geographic or specialty pattern.
CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomy information from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains name information from public CMS files captured before deactivation. The weekly registry count is a snapshot of status changes and should not be treated as a measure of physician availability, staffing or patient access in Georgia.
