Michigan recorded 7 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 31 through September 6, 2026, representing 4% of the national total. The records include 6 individuals and 1 organization. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal registry and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credentials
Family Medicine and Internal Medicine were the most frequently listed retired taxonomies, with 2 records each. Orthopaedic Surgery, Anesthesiology and General Practice each accounted for 1 record. The distribution spans primary care and several medical and surgical specialties rather than being concentrated in a single credential category. These classifications describe the deactivated registry records and do not measure clinical workload, patient volume or available appointments.
Michigan Locations
Troy had the highest city count, with 2 deactivations. Macomb, Sturgis, Detroit and Westland each had 1. One additional record was associated with Northville. The city pattern is therefore dispersed across several Michigan communities, with only Troy appearing more than once in the weekly data. The organization record was located in Troy, while the individual records were distributed among Troy, Macomb, Sturgis, Detroit, Westland and Northville.
The weekly snapshot records administrative NPI status changes across Michigan’s physician segment and should be interpreted as registry activity, not as a direct count of providers leaving practice.
