Illinois recorded 5 physician deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 3% of the national total. All were individual providers, while 0 organizations were listed. The records cover activity during the week of September 7 through September 13, 2026.
Credentials and Cities
The retired credentials were evenly distributed across five specialties. Diagnostic Radiology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Clinical Pathology/Laboratory Medicine and Vascular Surgery each accounted for 1 deactivation, or 20% of the Illinois total. No single specialty led the update.
Oak Brook was the only city with more than 1 listed deactivation, with 2 records. Chicago, Galesburg and Burr Ridge each had 1. The city distribution shows a small Oak Brook concentration, while the specialty breakdown is spread across distinct physician fields. With 5 records overall, the update describes a limited set of registry changes rather than a broad concentration in one credential or location.
Registry Context
NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself establish that a physician has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred. Illinois’s weekly physician data therefore provides a snapshot of registry activity, with all 5 records classified as individuals and none classified as organizations.
