New York recorded 12 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, representing 7% of the national total for the period of June 8-14, 2026. All 12 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated during this timeframe. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
Among the deactivated NPIs, Clinical Social Workers represented the largest group, accounting for 6 records, or 50% of the total. Other specific credentials with 1 deactivation each included Specialist, Mental Health Counselor, Psychologist, and Professional Counselor. This distribution highlights a significant portion of deactivations within the social work discipline. Geographically, the city of NEW YORK recorded the highest number of deactivations with 3 instances. Additional deactivations occurred in WHITE PLAINS, NORTHPORT, RHINEBECK, and BROOKLYN, each accounting for 1 deactivation. This suggests deactivations were distributed across several key urban and suburban centers.
It is important to note that NPI deactivation is an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry and does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practice. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation.
