New York recorded 14 physician NPI deactivations this week, accounting for 8% of the national total. All 14 deactivations were for individual physicians, with no organizational NPIs deactivated during this period. This administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practice.

Among the deactivated NPIs, Internal Medicine was the most common specialty, representing 4 physicians, or 29% of the total. Infectious Disease followed with 2 deactivations, making up 14%. Other specialties with single deactivations included Otolaryngology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Allergy & Immunology, each accounting for 7% of the total. This distribution indicates a varied range of medical specialties among the deactivated records.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, New York City saw the highest number of deactivations with 3 records. Johnson City and Brooklyn each recorded 2 deactivations. Batavia and Watertown each had 1 deactivation. The concentration in these areas reflects typical patterns of NPI activity in both major metropolitan and smaller urban centers across the state.
