Maryland recorded 5 behavioral health provider deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, accounting for 3% of the national total. All 5 were individuals; the registry reported 0 organizations among the state’s deactivations. The records cover activity during the week of August 17 through August 23, 2026. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials and Locations
Clinical Social Worker and Mental Health Counselor were the leading taxonomy categories, with 2 deactivations each. Each represented 40% of Maryland’s total. Specialist accounted for 1 deactivation, or 20%. The credential mix therefore shows equal representation from the two largest listed behavioral health categories, with one additional record classified as a Specialist.
Baltimore had 2 deactivations, while Nottingham, Hagerstown and Berlin each had 1. The city distribution places the largest count in Baltimore, but the remaining records were spread across three other Maryland communities. With only five records in the update, the locations indicate limited concentration rather than a broad pattern across a single area.
These figures describe weekly NPI registry status changes, not a confirmed measure of provider departures, current practice activity or changes in behavioral health service capacity.
