New York recorded 11 NPI deactivations for nurses during the week of June 1-7, 2026. This figure represents 16% of the national total for nurse NPI deactivations in the period. All 11 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state's nursing sector.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs reveals that Licensed Practical Nurses constituted the largest segment, with 6 individuals, representing 55% of the total deactivations. Registered Nurses followed, accounting for 3 deactivations, or 27% of the total. The remaining deactivations included one Administrator Registered Nurse and one Adult Health Nurse Practitioner, each making up 9% of the week's total. Geographically, the deactivations were spread across multiple locations. Cities such as Brooklyn, Oswego, Buffalo, New York, and Rochester each saw 1 NPI deactivation. This broad distribution across different urban and regional centers suggests that these administrative changes are not concentrated in any single metropolitan area within New York.
Registry Status Updates
It is important to note that NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry. They do not, by themselves, indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing.
