Illinois recorded 11 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Sept. 14–20, 2026, accounting for 7% of the national total. All 11 records were individuals; none were organizations. These are administrative changes to federal registry records and do not, by themselves, indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials and Cities
Family Medicine was the most frequently listed specialty, with 3 deactivations, followed by Internal Medicine with 2. Infectious Disease, Diagnostic Radiology and Surgical Critical Care each had one record. The specialty mix is spread across several areas of practice, with Family Medicine accounting for the largest listed group.
Chicago had the most city records, with 2 deactivations. Deerfield, North Chicago, Rockford and Moline each had one. The listed locations show a small concentration in Chicago, while the other reported records are distributed among separate cities. The city summary does not establish where a provider practices or serves patients, and it does not represent a measure of local workforce change.
Registry Context
The weekly totals describe records deactivated in the NPI registry, not verified departures from Illinois medicine. CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomy information from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains name information from public CMS files captured before deactivation. This registry snapshot should be read as an administrative update, not as evidence of changes in licensing, employment or patient access.
