Illinois recorded 8 NPI deactivations for Behavioral Health Providers during the week of June 8-14, 2026. This figure represents 4% of the national total for the category in the same period. Of these deactivations, 7 were individual providers and 1 was an organization, reflecting a majority of individual practitioners among the administrative changes.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
Among the individual providers, "Specialist" and "Clinical Social Worker" were the most frequently deactivated credentials, each accounting for 2 deactivations, which is 25% of the total. "Counselor," "Professional Counselor," and "RBT" each saw 1 deactivation, representing 13% of the total deactivations each. Geographically, 5 deactivations occurred in Chicago, indicating that the majority of these administrative changes were concentrated in the state's largest city. Lincoln, Northbrook, and Antioch each recorded 1 deactivation.
Context of NPI Deactivations
NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry. These updates do not inherently indicate that a provider has ceased practicing, nor do they signify any specific license action. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation, providing historical context for these administrative changes.
