Illinois recorded 6 deactivations among behavioral health providers during the week of Sept. 21–27, 2026, representing 3% of the national total. The records comprise 5 individuals and 1 organization. NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal registry; it does not, by itself, indicate a licensing action or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials and locations
Clinical Social Worker was the most common listed taxonomy, with 3 records, or half of Illinois’s total. RBT, Clinic/Center and Speech-Language Pathologist each appeared once. The taxonomy labels describe the records and do not establish whether the named individuals or organization currently deliver services.
Chicago had 2 deactivations. Moline, Paris, Arlington Heights and Belleville each had one. The counts show a small concentration in Chicago, while the other records were spread across four cities; this week’s figures alone do not establish a broader geographic pattern or change in local service availability.
Registry context
Federal registry records can be updated or deactivated for administrative reasons, and deactivation should not be read as evidence of a provider’s practice status. CMS removes names and addresses from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation. These weekly figures describe registry activity for Illinois’s Behavioral Health Providers segment, not a count of confirmed departures from care delivery. They do not show whether services, appointments or staffing changed during the period. The records are a snapshot of NPI status changes, rather than a measure of the state’s active behavioral health workforce.
