Credential and Geographic Focus
Among the deactivated NPIs, Clinical Social Workers comprised the largest group, with 5 providers, accounting for 45% of the total. Specialists followed with 2 deactivations, making up 18%.

Understanding Deactivations
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry. An NPI deactivation does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured prior to deactivation for these records.
