Maryland recorded 6 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during 2026-W38, the week spanning September 14-20, 2026. That was 4% of the national total reported for the week. The records comprise 5 individuals and 1 organization. Deactivation is an administrative registry status change; it does not by itself establish that a clinician has stopped practicing or that a license action has occurred.
Credentials and Cities
Ophthalmology was the most common listed taxonomy, with 2 records. Psychiatry, neuroradiology, surgery and orthopaedic surgery each had 1. The city distribution was led by Baltimore, with 4 deactivations; Columbia and Owings Mills each had 1. The Baltimore count represents most of the state’s records in this update, while the credential mix spans several specialties. With only six records, the figures describe this week’s registry activity and do not establish a broader pattern in local physician supply or specialty availability.
Registry Context
The counts reflect NPPES records assigned to Maryland and the Physicians segment, rather than confirmed changes in active clinical staffing. CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomies from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation. The information is therefore a snapshot of administrative updates, not a measure of patient access, practice closures or changes in care delivered.
