Illinois recorded 13 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 24-30, representing 6% of the national total. The update included 11 individuals and 2 organizations. Organizations accounted for the two Community/Behavioral Health Agency records, both in Alsip.
Credential Mix
Clinical Social Worker was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 4 records, or 31% of Illinois deactivations. Speech-Language Pathologist, Community/Behavioral Health Agency, Counselor and Mental Health Counselor each appeared twice, with each category representing 15%. The credential mix spans individual clinical roles and organizational behavioral health services, while the leading category is concentrated in social work rather than distributed evenly across the listed taxonomies.
City Distribution
Chicago had 3 deactivations, the highest city count in the update. Alsip followed with 2, while Libertyville, Lincolnwood and Gurnee each had 1. The city distribution places the largest reported concentration in Chicago, with a smaller cluster in Alsip driven by the two organization records; the remaining listed cities appear only once. These counts describe the location fields in the registry and do not establish the size or availability of local behavioral health workforces.
The Illinois figures describe administrative NPI status changes for the week and should not, by themselves, be read as evidence that specific providers ended practice or lost licensure.
