New Jersey recorded 5 physician deactivations in the NPI registry update for Sept. 7-13, 2026, representing 3% of the national total. The records include 4 individuals and 1 organization. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials
The retired taxonomy records were evenly distributed across five specialties. Emergency Medicine, Pediatric Adolescent Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease, Interventional Pain Medicine and Pediatrics each appeared once, or 20% of the New Jersey total. No single credential represented more than another, so the specialty data does not show concentration in one physician field.
Geographic Distribution
The records were also spread across five cities: Long Branch, Plainsboro, Summit, Brick and Newark each had one deactivation. That distribution indicates no leading city within this week’s New Jersey physician records. The organization record was based in Long Branch, while the four individual records were listed in Plainsboro, Summit, Brick and Newark. Because each city contributed one record, the update does not identify a geographic cluster.
These figures describe weekly NPI registry activity in New Jersey and should not be read as a count of confirmed departures from practice or changes in available physician care.
