New Jersey recorded 5 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 17 through Aug. 23, 2026, accounting for 3% of the national total. All 5 were individuals; the update listed 0 organizations. The records reflect administrative deactivations in the federal NPPES registry and do not, by themselves, establish that a physician has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials and Locations
The deactivated records span five taxonomy categories: Anesthesiology, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, and Dermatology. Each category appears once, so no single credential group leads the New Jersey update. The distribution includes both primary care and specialty fields, but the small number of records does not support a broader conclusion about the state’s physician workforce mix.
City Distribution
The records are also spread across five cities, with one deactivation each in Red Bank, Wood-Ridge, Old Bridge, Wayne and Franklin Lakes. That pattern shows no concentration in a single city or locality within this week’s data. The geographic spread, like the credential distribution, provides a description of the registry activity rather than evidence of a regional workforce shift.
New Jersey’s weekly physician deactivation count is limited to these five administrative NPI status changes and should be interpreted as registry activity, not a direct measure of clinical availability.
