In the latest weekly update, Ohio saw 6 NPI deactivations for nurses, accounting for 7% of the national total in this category. All 6 deactivations were associated with individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during the week of June 22-28, 2026.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs by credential shows that Registered Nurses represented the largest group, with 3 individuals, making up 50% of the total. The remaining deactivations were distributed across other nursing specialties: one Home Health Registered Nurse, one Family Nurse Practitioner, and one Licensed Practical Nurse, each contributing 17% of the deactivations. This distribution across various credentials reflects a mix of general practice and specialized roles within the nursing field. Geographically, the deactivations were concentrated in two major Ohio cities, with 2 individuals each in Dayton and Cleveland. Single deactivations were also recorded in Canal Winchester and Mayfield Heights, indicating a dispersed pattern beyond the primary urban centers.
Understanding Deactivations
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry. This change does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
