New York recorded 10 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, representing 6% of the national total for the category. All 10 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period.
Credential and Geographic Trends
Among the deactivated NPIs, 'Clinical Social Worker' and 'Mental Health Counselor' were the most frequent taxonomies, each accounting for 2 deactivations and representing 20% of the total. Other specific taxonomies included 'RBT', 'Psychologist', and 'Specialist', each with 1 deactivation, or 10% of the total. This indicates deactivations across a range of direct care and specialized behavioral health roles. Geographically, Brooklyn recorded the highest number of deactivations with 2 instances. Other cities experiencing individual deactivations included Melville, Tarrytown, Syracuse, and New York, each with 1 deactivation. The distribution across these varied locations suggests no single concentrated area for these administrative changes this week.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes in the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a cessation of practice or license action for the providers involved.
