Illinois recorded 7 physician deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 3% of the national total. All seven records were individuals, while 0 organizations were listed. The records cover providers in the Physicians segment and reflect administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry, not a determination that any individual has stopped practicing.
Credentials and Cities
Gastroenterology was the most common listed credential, with 2 deactivations, or 29% of the Illinois total. Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Anatomic Pathology & Clinical Pathology, and Ophthalmology each accounted for 1 record, or 14%. The city breakdown was dispersed: Galesburg, Chester, Steger, Winfield and Niles each recorded one deactivation. The data therefore does not show a concentration in a single city, while the credential mix indicates limited clustering in gastroenterology rather than a broad concentration across one specialty.
Registry Context
The provider records also include deactivations associated with Chicago and Lake Forest, alongside the five cities listed in the leading city breakdown. Taxonomy fields in the individual records include Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Gastroenterology, Anatomic Pathology & Clinical Pathology, Ophthalmic Technician/Technologist and Psychiatry. These fields do not necessarily correspond exactly to the summarized credential categories, so they should be read as registry classifications rather than a direct measure of active clinical workforce capacity.
Illinois’ weekly physician deactivations were entirely individual records, with the largest listed specialty group in gastroenterology and no single city accounting for more than one record.
