Illinois recorded 7 physician NPI deactivations in the federal NPPES registry during the week of June 8-14, 2026. This total represented 4% of the national deactivations for physicians in that period. All 7 deactivations were associated with individual physicians, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state this week.
Specialty and Geographic Distribution
The deactivations spanned multiple medical specialties, with five distinct taxonomies each accounting for 1 deactivation, or 14% of the state's total. These included Sports Medicine (Orthopaedic Surgery), Urology, Body Imaging, Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, and Family Medicine. The geographic distribution of these deactivations showed a concentration in urban areas. Chicago accounted for 3 deactivations, representing nearly half of the state's total. Other cities with single deactivations included Peoria, Crystal Lake, Springfield, and Cicero.
Understanding NPI Deactivations
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry. This status change does not, by itself, indicate a license action against a provider or confirm that a provider has ceased practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured prior to deactivation for these records.
