Ohio recorded 13 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 31 through Sept. 6, 2026, representing 7% of the national total. The records include 9 individuals and 4 organizations. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal registry and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a professional license has been affected.
Credentials
Clinic/Center was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 4 records, or 31% of Ohio’s total. RBT, Clinical Social Worker and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor each accounted for 2 records, or 15% apiece. Specialist appeared once, representing 8%. The mix spans organizational clinic records and several individual behavioral health roles, so the taxonomy distribution does not point to a single workforce category driving the week’s activity.
Ohio Locations
Columbus led the city breakdown with 4 records, all associated with Clinic/Center classifications in the data. Toledo followed with 2 records. Akron, Cincinnati and Bexley each had one. The concentration in Columbus reflects the group of organization records in this week’s file; the remaining deactivations were distributed across multiple Ohio communities, including Cleveland, Dayton, Groveport and Worthington.
This weekly snapshot describes registry status changes, not a confirmed count of closures, departures or changes in behavioral health service availability.
