Massachusetts recorded 7 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 24–30, 2026, representing 3% of the national total. All seven records were individuals, while 0 organizations were deactivated. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials and Locations
Clinical Social Worker was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 2 records and 29% of the Massachusetts total. Psychologist, Mental Health Counselor, Counselor and RBT each appeared once, or 14% apiece. The records span several behavioral health roles, with no single credential accounting for most of the week’s activity.
Amherst, New Bedford, Haverhill, Northampton and Fall River each recorded one deactivation. Norwell and Dorchester also appear among the locations in the registry records, indicating that the activity was distributed across multiple Massachusetts communities rather than concentrated in one listed city. The city pattern describes the location of deactivated NPI records; it does not measure local workforce size, service availability or patient access.
Registry Context
This week’s Massachusetts data show seven individual behavioral health NPI deactivations, a mixed credential profile and no organization deactivations; the records are an administrative snapshot rather than a direct measure of current clinical practice.
