Illinois recorded 5 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 31 through Sept. 6, representing 3% of the national total. All five records were individuals, while 0 organizations appeared in the update. The state’s activity therefore consisted entirely of individual provider records rather than a mix of individual and organizational deactivations.
Credentials
The credential breakdown was evenly distributed. Anesthesiology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Allergy, Urology and Internal Medicine each accounted for 1 record, or 20% of the Illinois total. No single specialty represented more than one deactivation in the weekly data. The spread across five physician taxonomies indicates a broad specialty mix within this small group, rather than a concentration in one clinical area.
Locations
Chicago was the leading listed city, with 3 deactivations. Chicago Heights and Naperville each had 1. The geographic pattern shows a majority of records in Chicago, with the remaining records in nearby Illinois communities. Because the total is limited, the city distribution describes this week’s registry activity but does not establish a broader statewide pattern.
These figures describe administrative NPI status changes and should be read as a registry snapshot, not as confirmation that individual physicians stopped practicing or that Illinois physician capacity changed by the same amount.
