Maryland recorded 6 physician deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 3% of the national total. The records include 5 individuals and 1 organization. The deactivations occurred during the week covered by the update and reflect changes in the federal NPPES registry, not necessarily changes in licensure or clinical practice.
Credentials and Cities
The listed taxonomy categories were evenly distributed. Obesity Medicine (Preventive Medicine), Pulmonary Disease, Internal Medicine, Medical Oncology and Gynecology each appeared once. The remaining record was classified under Preventive Medicine/Occupational Environmental Medicine. No single specialty dominated the physician deactivations in Maryland this week.
Frederick was the leading city with 2 records. Annapolis, Baltimore, Silver Spring and Bethesda each had 1 record. The geographic distribution was therefore broad across the cities represented, with Frederick the only location appearing more than once. The pattern suggests a small, dispersed set of registry changes rather than a concentration in one city or clinical field.
Registry Context
NPI deactivation is an administrative status change, and the registry data alone does not establish whether an individual or organization has stopped practicing, changed locations or taken another workforce action.
