New Jersey recorded 6 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Sept. 7-13, accounting for 4% of the national total. The records include 4 individuals and 2 organizations. The figures describe administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry and do not by themselves establish whether a provider has stopped practicing or whether a license action occurred.
Credentials and Cities
Professional Counselor was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 2 records. Case Management Agency, Psychologist, Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor and Clinical Social Worker each appeared in 1 record. The credential mix spans counseling, case management, psychology, substance-use treatment and social work rather than concentrating in one behavioral health role.
Newark led the city breakdown with 2 deactivations. Hoboken, Berlin, Neptune City and Somerset each recorded 1. The geographic distribution is therefore limited, with the only repeated city being Newark; the data does not show a broad concentration across multiple New Jersey locations or enough volume to identify a statewide pattern.
Registry Context
The six records were dated between Sept. 9 and Sept. 11, with most occurring on Sept. 10. Two involved organizations, while the other four involved individual practitioners. Because NPPES deactivation is an administrative status change, the weekly count should be read as registry activity rather than a direct measure of workforce loss, service capacity or access to behavioral health care in New Jersey.
