Ohio recorded 10 NPI deactivations among behavioral health providers during the week of June 15-21, 2026. This figure represents 6% of the national total for behavioral health deactivations in the period. All 10 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in Ohio this week, indicating that the administrative changes primarily affected individual practitioners.
Credential Breakdown
An examination of the deactivated NPIs reveals a distribution across several behavioral health specialties. Clinical Social Workers, Speech-Language Pathologists, and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselors each accounted for 2 deactivations, collectively making up 60% of the state's total for the week. Professional Counselors and Specialists each saw 1 deactivation, representing 10% each of the total. This indicates a varied impact across different professional categories within behavioral health.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, the deactivations were spread across various cities in Ohio. Columbus, Leesburg, Springboro, Highland Hills, and Akron each recorded a single deactivation. This broad distribution suggests no significant concentration of NPI deactivations in any single Ohio city during this reporting period.
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing.
