Minnesota recorded 6 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 10-16, 2026, representing 3% of the national total. The records include 4 individuals and 2 organizations. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
Specialty Mix
Family Medicine was the leading retired taxonomy, with 4 records, or 67% of Minnesota’s total. Anesthesiology and Internal Medicine each accounted for 1 record, or 17%. The specialty distribution places most of the week’s activity in family medicine, while the remaining records were split across two other physician specialties. The data covers both individual physicians and organizations, so the taxonomy mix should be read as a description of deactivated NPI records rather than a direct count of clinical positions lost.
Geographic Spread
The listed cities were Jasper, Inver Grove Heights, Saint Cloud, Aurora and Anoka, with 1 deactivation in each. A sixth record was associated with Sunfish Lake. Because no city had more than 1 record in the listed breakdown, the activity was geographically dispersed rather than concentrated in a single Minnesota location. Two organizations were represented in Jasper and Inver Grove Heights, while the four individual records were located in Saint Cloud, Aurora, Anoka and Sunfish Lake.
These weekly records describe NPI registry status changes across Minnesota’s physician segment, not a definitive measure of active workforce or service availability.
