Ohio recorded 8 NPI deactivations among behavioral health providers during the week of July 6-12, 2026. This total represents 4% of all national behavioral health deactivations for the period. All 8 deactivations were individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state this week.
Credential Breakdown
A review of the deactivated NPIs shows that 4 providers (50%) were Case Managers/Care Coordinators. Clinical Social Workers accounted for 2 deactivations (25%). Speech-Language Pathologists and Mental Health Counselors each saw 1 deactivation (13%). This distribution highlights administrative changes across several key behavioral health specialties within the state.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, Cleveland recorded the highest number of deactivations with 2 providers. Other cities, including Columbus, Pepper Pike, Sidney, and Akron, each had 1 deactivation. This pattern indicates that the deactivations were spread across various urban and suburban areas of Ohio rather than being concentrated in a single location. It is important to note that 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.
