Illinois recorded 5 NPI deactivations for nurses during the week of July 13-19, 2026. This total accounted for 8% of the national deactivations in the nurses category for the period. All 5 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this specific timeframe.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs reveals that Family Nurse Practitioners and Psychiatric/Mental Health Registered Nurses each saw 2 deactivations. These two credential types collectively represented 40% of the state's total for the week. Additionally, one Registered Nurse NPI was deactivated, making up 20% of the total. The distribution across various cities was notable, with Chicago, Springfield, La Grange, Wheaton, and Peoria each recording 1 deactivation. This broad geographic spread suggests that the administrative updates were not concentrated in any single urban center or specific region within Illinois.
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry. They do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing, and Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation.
