New York recorded 12 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 6% of the national total within this category. All 12 deactivations were associated with individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs undergoing this administrative status change in the state during the period of July 6-12, 2026. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credential and Geographic Focus
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs reveals a primary concentration among two credential types. 5 (42%) were categorized as Specialists, while another 5 (42%) were Clinical Social Workers. The remaining deactivations included 1 BCBA and 1 Psychologist. Geographically, the city of New York saw the highest number of deactivations, with 3 providers. Other cities such as Goshen, Rochester, Brooklyn, and Hartsdale each had one deactivation. This distribution suggests a broad geographic spread, with a cluster in the state's largest urban center.
