North Carolina recorded 8 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of September 7 through September 13, 2026, accounting for 4% of the national total. All were individual providers; the update lists 0 organizations. The records show deactivation dates of September 10, 2026, but an NPI status change is an administrative registry action and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a license action.
Credentials
Emergency Medicine was the leading retired taxonomy, with 3 deactivations, or 38% of the state total. Developmental - Behavioral Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and Family Medicine each accounted for 1 deactivation, or 13%. The records also include 1 Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation provider whose credential is listed as PT, while the summary’s leading credential categories otherwise identify physician specialties.
Cities
Elizabeth City, Greenville, Dallas, Greensboro and Monroe each recorded 1 deactivation. The individual records also include providers in Plymouth, Williamston and Durham. Because the leading listed cities each had only 1 record, the update does not show a concentration in a single city. The specialty distribution is similarly limited, with Emergency Medicine the only category appearing more than once.
These figures describe weekly NPI registry activity in North Carolina’s Physicians segment, not a complete measure of clinical workforce levels or practice availability.
