During the week of July 13-19, 2026, Ohio recorded 6 NPI deactivations among behavioral health providers. This total represented 4% of the national deactivations for this category during the period.

Credential and Geographic Patterns
A review of the deactivated records shows "Counselor" as the most frequent taxonomy, accounting for 3 deactivations, or 50% of the total. Other specialties affected included one Speech-Language Pathologist, one Professional Counselor, and one Clinical Social Worker, each representing 17% of the deactivations. This indicates a diverse set of behavioral health professionals were part of this week's administrative updates. Geographically, Columbus recorded the highest number with 2 deactivations, while Canton, Waverly, Lima, and Parma each saw 1 deactivation. The distribution across these cities suggests that deactivations were not confined to a single urban center.
These NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate changes in practice status or licensure for specific providers.
